Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Harps, violins and synthscapes smashed to pieces by fuzz guitar freakouts: Jakabol aren’t your average Bristol guitar band, not even bloody close. This is daring astral folk rock with a theatrical proglike ambition, and we want to see them at the Beacon, ON ICE. This is the dawning of the age of the Jakabol, ye devotees of: Jethro Tull, King Gizzard, Incredible String Band, Kikagaku Moyo."

Live show to celebrate the release of LEORNIAN, Jakabol's follow up album to Jaded Temple (2022).
JAKABOL
The Guardian has described folk-prog chameleons Jakabol as “bucolic one moment, psychotic the next.” The Bristol based experimental outfit carve their own path through a kaleidoscopic, genre bending, musical world. They are as at home in the landscape of pastoral folk as they are in the maelstrom of heavily distorted metal and psych rock freak outs.

EAB (or Eve Appleton Band)
Green Man Rising 2023’s crowned champions EAB come with Bible-black parables, nursery rhymes and ballads. Expect to hear echoes of Americana and Dirge Folk-Rock.
