Keith Miller, Wide Awake co-founder and booker, said in a statement: “There’s a feeling amongst us all at Wide Awake that the 2023 lineup is the most varied and interesting so far.”
The festival is described as “a celebration of independent music and counterculture”, with its line-up spanning “leftfield indie, post punk, electronica and techno”.
Last year’s festival saw performances from the likes of Primal Scream, The Horrors, Bicep, Yard Act, Caribou, Working Men’s Club and Floating Points.
In a four-star review of Wide Awake 2022, NME praised the event’s “expertly-curated line-up”, adding: “Wide Awake, then, has found the perfect balance between past, present and future.”
Last month saw Black Country, New Road perform a headline show at Bush Hall in west London.
