Indie-rock tribute festival with six tribute acts covering the biggest hits of The Killers, Sam Fender, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs.
Indiepalooza comes to The Point on Saturday 31 October, bringing six indie-rock tribute acts to a single night. It's a touring festival now in its fourth year, and it's built its reputation on filling 1,000-capacity indoor venues across the country. The whole thing runs from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm, with the bands sharing a pool of eight musicians between them.
The line-up for the Sunderland date is The Kopycat Killers (The Killers), Scam Fender (Sam Fender), Subarctic Monkeys (Arctic Monkeys), Oasis 96 (Oasis), Kasabian't (Kasabian) and Kaiser Cheats (Kaiser Chiefs). The night works its way through hours of the original artists' biggest hits, so you'll hear a good stretch of the indie-rock canon in one go. Stuart Rook and Eddy Andersen take the vocals across the different sets.
It's a touring show that's picked up a fair bit of attention along the way. Radio DJs Chris Moyles of Radio X and Greg James of Radio 1 have both praised it, and reviewer Duncan Cowley called it 'the best tribute band I've ever seen'. The festival describes its acts as some of the best in the world and regulars on the UK and international festival circuit.
