Music Line-Up Manchester 2013
Grillstock tackles music with the same lip smackin’ gusto that it does ribs, brisket and pork butt. The main stage hosts a line-up that reflects a deep affection for American roots music lanced through with a distinctly British sense of humour and boisterous attitude. The stage is lovingly curated by one of the small team that programmes Glastonbury’s main stages.

Honeyfeet
Songs about eating people! Dancing on graves! Infidelity! But it's not all bad news. Manchester's finest ethio-trad, folk-hop & barrelhouse-pop exponents have the skill, charm and (frankly) tunes to pull it all together into a joyful, foot-banging sound. Evoking the afro-funk of Mulatu Atstake, ...
moreDr Tid & the Triple Eights
What an amazing band, If your offered the chance to see Dr Tid, snap off their arms, jump at the chance & lap up the opportunity.

Big Joe Bone
Danny Wilson is an astonishing blues guitarist and true friend of Grillstock. Now he’s teamed up with his old friend Ivor Aldred on harmonica to play everything from foot stompin’ roots music to dulcet blues and everything in between. These guys are at the very top of their game.
John J. Presley
He look a bit like Kurt Cobain, sounds a bit like Kings of Leon (when they were really good) and he writes raw yet epic psycho soul gems. And did I mention that the band look as cool as f**k? Watch the video below and tell me I’m lying.
Sicknote Steve
Not just a tribute act but a genuine Wales based soul brother to the much loved Seasick version. As much a Grillstock staple as hot coals and sticky ribs.
The Suns
A band paying homage to 60’s garage music with a great ear for a killer hook and a taste for sharp black suits. Despite the retro fetish The Suns still sound both contempory and relevant.
