Public Service Broadcasting to headline Exeter's Lost Weekend Festival

Lost Weekend is delighted to announce the headliner for the Lost In Music part of the festival will be the amazing Public Service Broadcasting.

The band will bring their spellbinding show to Exeter’s amazing gothic Cathedral on Saturday, October 7.

Other bands taking part in the festival include Dutch Uncles, Denzel Himself, Big Zuu, Mise En Scene, Muncie Girls, Eliza and the Bear and Zion Train, and much more.

Public Service Broadcasting is the corduroy-clad brainchild of London-based J. Willgoose, Esq who, along with drumming companion Wrigglesworth and multi-instrumentalist JF Abraham, is on a quest to inform, educate and entertain audiences around the globe.

The band’s mesmerising live audio visual transmissions see them weave samples from old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material around live drums, guitar, banjo and electronics.

They teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future – beaming our past back at us through vintage TV sets and state of the art modern video projection devices.

Lost In Music is a multi-venue event across Exeter on the afternoon and evening of Saturday, October 7.

One wristband gets you in to see 40-plus bands, and exclusively into six venues including Exeter Cathedral, Exeter Phoenix and the Cavern Club. There are also three free stages for everyone to enjoy.

The festival will also feature the best of the bands from across the area, and more bands will be announced as they are confirmed.

Bands are scheduled to start at different times, if one venue is full just move onto the next venue – culminating in Exeter Cathedral and Exeter Phoenix.

Lost In Music is part of the Lost Weekend Festival of music, tech, art, film and talks across various venues in Exeter city centre on the weekend of October 6-8.

The music programme also includes other standalone events such as Wildwood Kin playing at the Cathedral on Friday, October 6, and a music conference at Exeter Phoenix on the same day.

Festival partners include Exeter City Council, the Met Office, TEDx Exeter, Kaleider, Exeter Phoenix and the Cavern Club.
