Kid Kapichi

A behemoth of a band on and off stage thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, until they got their big break from Frank Carter - he invited them to play his birthday party then join him on a major tour. Their best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration and all-consuming love with honesty and humour. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch.

"2000 trees was probably the biggest surprise of 2022 for us. The atmosphere and crowd were unbelievable. The amount of people we’ve met since then that reminisce about seeing us there for the first time has been amazing. We can’t wait to play it again this year on the main stage. It’s gonna be one we’re looking forward to for sure"
