As the sun begins to edge lower towards the horizon and the evening begins to draw in, Circa Waves are living up to their name in bringing the calming sway of all the modern indie goodness you could possibly ask for! Bright, stereo-effect guitars, a bouncing, sunny disposition set against vocal lines tinged with melancholy – what more could you want!

Rarely has there been a band’s rise as meteoric as that of Circa Waves, and it shows. Barely a year ago they were carving out their name on the saturated world of indie music with their debut record, and now they are drawing huge crowds to the Main Stage East like moths to a flame. Despite their insistence on wanting to ‘Move to San Francisco’, it seems all the sunshine you could ever need is right here, as the stage is bathed in golden light, and the speakers pump out direct, catchy riffs that wriggle into your ears and latch themselves there for the remainder of the day.

But despite their already impressive launch into the stratosphere, their new track ‘Hell On Earth’ evidence of a renewed fire in the belly of the band to ascend to heights even more atomic than they have yet, as the fizzing guitars serve as a direct punch to the core of your nostalgia for summers gone by. This is summer festival music at its very finest!
