The Hunna:
Firing up on the Main Stage East, pop-infused rockers The Hunna brought gut-punching energy from the get-go! Highlighting vocalist Ryan Potter’s lilting idiosyncratic vocals, the pummelling drums pounded your ears, driving the whole set forward with irrepressible force. The atmosphere of pure, unadulterated joy never wavered from the opening notes, in particular captured by ‘Dark Times’ – a perfect ode to all that the music industry, and the world as a whole has been through the past couple of years, while also doubling as exactly the rousing rise from the ashes that we all needed!
Across the set, there were many lots big, chunky guitar riffs and shredding basslines thrown into the mix – though, it was also not without it’s radio-crafted charms either. The drop into ‘Can’t Break What’s Broken’ fell like an incendiary match, firing up the packed crowd into a sea of waving hands and bouncing bodies. Potter kept the audience’s eye firmly fixed on him throughout, bounding about the stage with all the energy of an excitable puppy, resulting in a spectacular jump up onto (less than impressed!) guitarist Daniel Dorney’s shoulders shoulders! This was a masterclass in producing radio-ready rock which is built for just such huge stages as this.
