Kat Morris, festival director of TGE, said: ‘This will be our 9th festival, and it really feels like the event has become stronger year-on-year.
‘TGE prides itself on showcasing the very best upcoming talent and we aim to produce a line-up which shows a true cross section of emerging artists, locally and internationally, and offer hundreds of incredible gigs, accessible to festival-goers with just one wristband. We’re really excited by how this years’ line-up is shaping up.’
