The intimate and unassuming Dome in Tufnell Park is once again set to host Raw Power Festival; an event during which the expansive and experimental bands that lie within transform this small London venue into a conduit for the world of avant-garde music. From the 27th-29th May; Baba Yaga’s Hut will curate a festival that boasts a Rube Goldberg Techno Machine, the first UK show in twenty years from industrial legends Test Dept. (a band known for trading in instruments for factory scrap metal and machinery) and more art noise bands than can be found within Brian Eno’s reasonably-priced shed.
But as with Raw Power’s spiritual cousin, Birmingham’s Supersonic Festival, the festival is less about the bands you know and more about your new favourite band you’ve never heard of. Sporting the biggest bill they’ve had yet, and an expansion into the Boston Arms pub, it’s hard to recommend missing any bands…so instead here’s a selection of bands you should be getting excited for in an adventurous festival for adventurous people.



Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their triple platinum album ‘Everything Must Go’ with Arena & Stadium tour dates across the UK this May, The Manic Street Preachers are in for one hell of year and we’re thrilled to be part of it!
See their incredible live set as they headline Victorious Festival on the Saturday!
Early Bird Tickets on sale now just £25 a day. (fees apply)…
