••• Shiiine On •••
Today, the SHIIINE ON WEEKENDER is very pleased to announce its phenomenal lineup for 2021.
Staking its place as a stalwart of the UK’s Winter festival scene, the Shiiine On Weekender returns for its sixth instalment on the 12th, 13th and 14th November 2021 and boasts an unbeatable crop of indie and dance as always.
Taking over Butlin’s Minehead Arena for a long-weekend escape of music and mayhem, the fest will be hosting a trio of legendary headline acts of the highest order…
Getting the festival underway in style, Friday night headliners Feeder will see dynamic duo Grant Nicholas & Taka Hirose blasting through over 20 years of hits, from ‘Buck Rogers’ to ‘Just A Day’ and airing cuts from their revitalised comeback LP of 2019: ‘Tallulah’. Marking the 25th anniversary of their seminal ‘All Change’ album, Saturday night will see Cast top the bill with their electrifying live show to remind us just why they were crowned ‘The Who of the 90s’; expect a healthy dose of classics in a confirmed Greatest Hits set too. PLUS, closing-out the Shiiine On Weekender with a Sunday showdown of pure substance: Peter Hook & The Light will bring a set brimful of Joy Division and New Order’s very finest moments.
Giving plenty of reasons to get down the front early, there will be superior supporting sets across the weekend from some long-established festival heroes. Merseyside psych-pop sorcerers The Coral (Friday), Shaun Ryder’s rabble-rousers Black Grape, plus a long overdue return from Scottish shoegazers Glasvegas (Sunday), will throw down the gauntlet to the headliners each night.
And of course, the mainstage is just the tip of the iceberg. Revealing its full and complete billing today, the Shiiine On Weekender will pack the holiday park withincendiary indie acts from all eras….
There’ll be sets by Brit-Pop powerhouses like The Bluetones who will be arriving for an all-guns blazing greatest hits slot; Plus, a Shiiine On 2021 festival exclusive set from Sice Boo & The Radleys, which will see Sice reunited with The Boo Radleys rhythm section Tim Brown and Rob Cieka to ‘Wake Up, Boo!’ and their many dormant classics at long last. There will also be sets from The Seahorses’ Chris Helme, James Atkin (of EMF), Republica, Bentley Rhythm Ace, Molly Half Head, The Clone Roses, and The Space Monkeys will all be flying the flag for that seminal era of British music.
Elsewhere, 21st Century alternative torchbearers like Humanist, The Pigeon Detectives and Goldie Lookin’ Chain will be showcasing their own tried-and-tested modern festival anthems.
Showing the kids how its done, vintage indie veterans including: Chameleons, Ned’s Acoustic Dustbin, Jim Bob (of Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine), Milltown Brothers, and the James Taylor Quartet will be bringing timeless tunes and experience to the fest.
And with a packed programme of music day and night, the entertainment won’t stop when the mainstage lights go up. Throwing their doors open from 10pm – 4 am, the Shiiine On Weekender’s Centre Stage and Reds Stage promises to be the-place-to-be for top tunes late into the night. Full live sets from proven party starters inc. Acid House innovators 808 State, original rude boy Neville Staple Band (ex-The Specials), plus an unmissable closing party set from Electronic/Dub overlords: Asian Dub Foundation. In addition, late-night slots from Alison Limerick, Dub Pistols, Shades Of Rhythm, Sunscreem, plus DJ sets from Slipmatt, Jon Dasilva (Hacienda), Rhoda Dakar (Bodysnatchers), radio legends Steve Lamacq (BBC 6 Music) and Clint Boon (XS Manchester / Inspiral Carpets) will ensure there’s good reason to keep the candles burning at both ends.
Announcing nearly 80 artists and performers today, the Shiiine On Weekender can also confirm a huge array of new and established acts who will also be making tracks for the seaside resort come this November. Across the weekend, look out for: Electric Soft Parade, Deja Vega, Tom Hingley, Martin Blunt (The Charlatans), Andy Bush, Holy Apes, Matt McManamon, The Waltones, Section 25, The Chesterfields, Midway Still, The Clause, The Shakes, Psycho Comedy, Dermo, DJ MILF, Phil Smith, Leo Stanley, Shader, Uke2, Oasis (UK), Tam Coyle, Dirty Laces, Cut Glass Kings, The Room In The Wood, The Jacques, Cross Wires, The Idle Hands, The Malakites, Good Mixer, Trappsy, Dan Fulham, Welsh Lee, Lee Howe, DJ Starkey, David Dutton, Misfit Man, Alex Lipinski, Nirvanalot, and Steve ADJ; all of whom will be making the festival’s sixth edition it’s biggest and best yet.
It’s not all just about the bands either.
