Fantasy Festival number 2: The Lineup

Lily & Madeleine: Sisters Lily & Madeleine Jurkiewicz hail from Indianapolis, Indiana. They have released four albums of beautiful slightly melancholic folk pop. You can find out more about them over on their website.

The Staves: Another band of folky musician siblings, The Staves hail from Watford and have released three albums and a number of EP's. Their most recent release is a demo, 'Nothing's Gonna Happen' and you can find out more over on their website.

Angel Olsen: Angel Olsen's sound has evolved and transformed a number of times in recent years. Her most recent album, last years All Mirrors, was an 80s synth infused slice of layered baroque, whereas 2016's Your Woman alternated between folky Americana and punky garage. You can find out more over on her website. 

Bat For Lashes: Natasha Khan's fifth album, Lost Girls, was one of the highlights of last year. To promote it she played a series of stripped down shows in which she talked the audience through her creative process and discussed the 80s synth pop and visual imagery that had influenced the album. You can find out more about Bat For Lashes over on her website.

Stevie Nicks: Member of the classic Rumours era lineup of Fleetwood Mac, and successful solo artist, Nicks has more recently been tagged as the probable inspiration for Daisy Jones in Taylor Jenkins Reed novel Daisy Jones and The Six. Her official website can be found here.
