Them Things

Now in its sixth year, Evolution Emerging has unearthed countless artists from the North East and beyond, with notable performances from Lanterns on the Lake, Mausi, Beth Jeans Houghton & the Hooves of Destiny, We Are Knuckle Dragger and Lulu James. Generator’s ability to showcase the next big thing was on display for all to see in 2013, with highlights of last year including Nadine Shah, Shields, Big Beat Bronson and current festival faves Lisbon.The event’s reputation for offering a truly varied lineup of amazing talent has been firmly established, with over 1,000 punters filling all venues and an increasingly national approach to bookings – with last year’s successful set from Eliza and the Bear being followed with more and more emerging artist bookings from across the UK.
