The best free festival ever!


New location, new artists, same great festival, Hull Trinity Festival returned with local and national acts for your musical taste buds, welcome to the City of Culture 2017.


The best part about this festival is the very basis of which it is built on, the discovery and promotion of new and exciting talent. There are a few national touring acts however, the majority of acts are local, allowing them the chance to have their time in the lime light to wow the crowds. The local scene has some diverse yet all-star and unique sounds, one of these comes from the raw and visceral punk band, Life. Their performance is just one dimension to this talented city.



The Saturday starts with The New republic finding their feet on this big stage. Next up, two piece Chambers provide a diverse and exciting set. Streaming lights, fail to get the party started with their electro pop. The Froot 67, take everyone back to the 1970’s with their progressive rock, destined for bigger stages. Avalanche Party show how far they have come as artists by taking the stage by storm. It was then left to Fire (TUF) to keep the energy level high, however, they stepped it up even further, getting everyone from the front to the back involved. Surprise guests Life do what they do best, put on an unforgettable show before Black Delta Movement prove why everyone is talking about them at the moment. Final act and headliners, Clean Cut Kid, I have followed since the turning of the year and for good reason. They have been playing a zillion shows across the UK over the past year and are building a strong fan base with their super infectious rhythms and lyrics. Tonight, they prove why they got signed so early and why they deserve to headline the show. Hailing from Liverpool, they still manage to pull in a large audience and even have a sing along to new hit, “We used to be in Love”. What you waiting for check them out now!



Still sore from the epic Saturday, many soldiered on to the Sunday event which seen The Hoosiers headline. Although I was not present, from the pictures and feedback I have seen online they drew one of the biggest crowds to Hull. Before the headliners though was the brilliant local scene, including new singer, Yasmin Coe and funky band, Young Jack both of which demonstrated what Hull can muster from a free festival, check out more online now and get ready for the biggest year yet in 2017.
