Elsewhere that night, Reverend & The Makers, The Futureheads and The Rifles take over the Reds stage.

Saturday is headed by Babyshambles, making their Shiiine On debut.

Babyshambles give Shiiine On a strong 2027 hook

Babyshambles are easily the most interesting booking from an SEO perspective.

The Pete Doherty-fronted band returned to live activity after a long absence, creating considerable interest around their reunion.

Putting them alongside Cast, Ash, Starsailor, Black Grape and Buzzcocks also gives Shiiine On an obvious audience among fans of British alternative music from the 1990s and 2000s.
