Higher Ground

HIGHER GROUND is a one-day festival which boasts an all-female line-up of singer-songwriters, genre defying acts and contemporary sounds. Expect impressive live performances across the day and night at Roundhouse. Headlining will be one of modern folk-pop's most astonishing talents, The Staves, who mould their love of Americana and folk with breath-taking sibling harmony and melody. The Orielles perform their most ambitious work to date, Tableau, with a live string section, bringing this new and modern brand of avant-garde, jazz-influenced expressionism to the Roundhouse. With a well earned reputation at the vanguard of the British alternative soul movement and as one of the country's most exciting live acts, Tawiah, present her largest performance to date of poignant second album Ertha (2022) with a live choir. Plus, expect a haunting and partly-experimental blend of indie folk and lightly psychedelic pop from Irish singer-songwriter Aoife Nessa Frances. More artists TBC.
