Legends of punk, house and indie confirmed for SMILEfest 2015
SMILEfest Southampton Solent University’s festival of the music and media industries returns to take over the city of Southampton in March 2015.
The festival, now in its seventh successive year, offers a mix of live concerts, club nights, workshops, exhibitions and challenges in addition to a music and media industries conference – all of which are organised, managed and promoted by students and staff from the University’s variety of music courses.
Among the list of amazing guests this year SMILEfest welcomes Radio 1 DJ Danny Howard, The Libertines’ Gary Powell, member of legendary punk band The Slits Viv Albertine and pioneering house DJ Graeme Park. Also joining us will be NME features editor Laura Snapes, Head of Press at Mute records Zoe Miller and Head of AFEM (Association For Electronic Music) Mark Lawrence plus many more to be announced soon!
Over the past six years, the festival has hosted a wide range of household names, including a rare live interview with 1980s icon Steve Strange, a special guest appearance from Oasis manager, Marcus Russell and the man behind Bestival and Southampton’s latest festival Common People, Rob Da Bank.
