Jake Bugg
Jake Bugg’s indie-pop sound has thrilled UK audiences for a decade, with poignant lyrics and catchy guitar riffs.
Singer-songwriter Jake Bugg makes his Festival debut in 2023, bringing his ‘distinct no-nonsense charm’ (Vinyl Chapters) to indie folk and indie pop music. His eponymous debut album took the UK Album Charts by storm in 2012, winning the Brit Award for Best Breakthrough Artist with sounds inspired by Oasis, the Arctic Monkeys, and Bob Dylan.
After forays into acoustic and bluegrass sounds, his 2021 release Saturday Night, Sunday Morning brings back the beloved ‘infectious guitar riffs and clever introspective lyrics, which are perfectly paired with powerful atmospheric choruses’ (Vinyl Chapters), for his ‘most zestful record to date’ (Far Out Magazine).
Bugg has remained a naturally gifted musician, whose skills on the guitar left me equally as impressed
