Beat the Streets 2019

January’s not the same without a day festival on a Sunday across your favourite venues in Nottingham, all money going to help local charity framework, helping the homeless people of Nottingham.

THE DANDY LIONS
Kicking off Rock City’s main stage was the Dandy Lions, Nottingham’s very own outrageous glam rock 4-piece. Neon gear and feather boas, they really know how to get the audience pumped up for the rest of the day. Full of energy, it's impossible to not enjoy their show. In 2018 they were announced champions of Future Sound of Nottingham and got to kick of Splendours Main Stage, starting 2019 by kicking off Rock City main Stage for beat the streets is a brilliant way to start the year. Singing about everything from being ghosted to about eating too many sweets, they're a band that brings joy to the entire audience.



DISTANT BLUE
Rough Trade got absolutely packed when Distant Blue took on the stage. Just out of the studio after recording the music for their upcoming EP that's to be released in the next few months, they took the stage playing all their well known older songs as well as their newest release 'Me and my Big Mouth'.

DON'T FORGET RUPERT
2018 was more than successful for the boys in Don't Forget Rupert, with the release of their EP Full Circle and headlining both the Bodega and Rescue Rooms. To start of the new year, they took over Rock City main stage and oh boy did they do it well. They amazingly packed the place out and put on one hell of a show for the audience




THE MOCKING JAYS
The Mocking Jays played Rock City basement, supporting The Sheafs just a few months ago. They returned to the stage for Beat the Streets and literally had the crowd flooding through the doors. Clearly, they're gonna have to be on the main stage next year. It's hard not to enjoy a TMJ show with their upbeat tunes that make the whole crowd move.



ROB GREEN
I instantly became a Rob Green fan after Pride and Splendour festival. It's hard not to be, he has the kind of performance that pleases everyone. His talent strives through his singing and guitar playing as he not only plays his own songs but busts out some classics that the entire of Rock City main hall was singing along to.
