Beam Me Up Festival adds Home Counties, Shelf Lives, Sobscene and more to 2024 lineup
The new music festival will run over two days in Oxford and Lincoln early next year.
Following its inaugural year this summer - which saw performances from the likes of Coach Party, Prima Queen, and Pale Blue Eyes - Beam Me Up Festival is returning to Lincoln and Oxford for 2024.
The new music festival will platform emerging artists and local heroes at various venues across the two cities, including next year’s headliners DEADLETTER, The Rills, Dolores Forever, and Snayx. All four will play both legs of the festival, taking to the stages of Lincoln’s The Drill, and Oxford’s O2 Academy and The Bullingdon.
The festival have also unveiled its second lineup wave, which adds a slew of artists to the dual-city bill. Ahead of the release of their anticipated debut album ‘Exactly As It Seems’, Home Counties will be greeting the crowds of Oxford, alongside the likes of electro-punks Shelf Lives, Make Friends, Good Health Good Wealth, and more. The Lincoln leg, meanwhile, is set to spotlight local talent with Sobscene and Moskito, as well as acoustic artists such as Danny Mellin, Tinned Peaches, and Julia Rose.
Beam Me Up Lincoln will take place on Friday 9th February 2024, while the festival will hit Oxford the following day, on Saturday 10th February - you can check out the full lineup for both days below. General sale tickets for Beam Me Up 2024 are on sale now, and are available here.
