A – Z of Music Artists and British Bands

We love music artists from all walks of life and understand that they are what festivals are all about. That’s why we’ve completed a glossary of British bands, American artists and everything in between – so that you know exactly who and what you’re going to see this summer. No matter what music event you are attending this year, we can assure you that you’ll be able to read up on the artists that are playing and what songs you can expect to hear. In fact, if you hear about music artists that aren’t in our glossary, we’d be very surprised.

Blue Banana started out of our love for music artists so this amazing guide is the obvious next step. There’s nothing more exciting than the build up to a festival, especially when you know your favourite British bands are playing. And you may think you know all there is to know about the top artists but we can guarantee that in our bands A – Z you’ll find information that even diehard fans won’t know. You can find information such as background, discography and even noticeable performances of all of the top music artists to prepare you for any festival.
 

Guide to British Artists and Complete Bands A – Z

If you want to find out what music artists are playing at the festival you’re going to this year, you’ve come to the right place. Here you can find out about British bands as well as what festivals they’ll be playing at and when. Even if a group has only just been announced, our bands A – Z will cover it first, giving you the vital information before anyone else. With over 800 bands in the pipeline and more being added continuously, our list of British music bands is simply unbeatable. Even if you’re not into music we think you’ll find this guide absolutely fascinating. Set out in a simple style and written by those in the know, it’s easy to find out about music artists here.

Often it is the music artists that are playing at festival that encourages you to go in the first place. For example, Coldplay headlining at Glastonbury is sure to have convinced some to buy tickets. But don’t forget about the less well-known bands and smaller festivals. We’re making sure we cover these too so that all tastes are covered. By browsing our British bands glossary you might find an artist that you’ve never heard of before, convincing you to go to a festival that you never knew existed! In this way, we’re not only providing you a great way to learn about your favourite musicians, you can find some cool new music artists too.

Our project of covering all music artists playing at UK festivals is a massive one, so bear with us while we’re doing it.
