Cro Cro Land festival launches in Croydon on 6 April, aiming to bring guitar bands back to the birthplace of punk music, and celebrate the area’s rich musical history, with gender equality at the heart of everything it does (in line with PRS Foundation’s Key Change initiative).
Here’s an introduction to some of the tantalising line up...

Fragile Creatures - Mess We’re In
The mighty Fragile Creatures are one of those rare beasts: a commercially viable proper guitar band. Covering themes as diverse as life, death, drugs, sex, dementia, Armageddon and Alan Turing whilst delivering their music wrapped up in the warming textures and tones of harmless rock’n’roll, in all its multifarious glories
Chorusgirl – In Dreams
