Meze : Festival : Oct 09

100+ Bands & DJ’s, 2 venues, 1 whole month (and we don’t like Mondays)

Newport’s Meze Lounge & The Joy Collective are proud to announce the inaugural Meze : Festival, a month-long celebration of new music and good times.

Initially conceived as a welcome party for Newport’s incoming student population, Meze : Festival has swelled to become a riot of noise, beats and invention, with acts plucked from all decent corners of the music making world. Every night in October, (except Mondays) a vast array of genres will colour & shape the sound of Market Street, courtesy of bands from the U.S, Canada, France, Japan, Australia plus a huge array of nationwide UK touring acts and some hand-picked local cherries. They will be bashing their way through dubstep, electro, hip-hop, math-rock, amongst others, in a quest for sleeplessness.

There are too many highlights to pin-point, so find out for yourself. Search through the line-up. Stream the music online or download the mp3 compilation zip!
