In 2023, Megan Wyn announced herself as a serious player with a jaw-dropping set at Truck Festival. She followed this up with a string of heavy-hitting singles and, now back on the festival circuit, she looks set to continue her domination.

At Godney, it felt less like an announcement of future talent and more like the arrival of a seasoned pro. On her former single, ‘Are You Bored Yet?’ she made regret the most melodic it had ever sounded. The rise and fall in her harmonies were breathtaking.

On ‘Jealously’, she dedicated it a “dick” from her past, and then proceeded to deliver a mesmeric Pj Harvey meets Kim Gordon banger. If there’s a better ode to cutting loose dead wood, we’ve yet to witness it.

This weekend, Wyn continues her summer festival journey with Kendal Calling and Y Not Festival.

With the sun finally appearing, their blissed-out rock ‘n’ roll was perfectly timed. The dreamscapes of ‘Switch Off’ floated in and out of the ether like otherworldly messages of hope. Meanwhile, ‘Is It Any Wonder?’ and ‘The Same Curse showcased songwriting talent beyond their fledgeling years.

A step back to 2021’s ‘Damaged’ and even further to a cover of New Order’s ‘Blue Monday’ saw the band take the Gidney faithful to another realm. Gentle sways gave way to souls being freed as their dramatic guitars took hold.

An undeniable set from a band destined for great things.

The Mezz: Godney Gathering, This Feeling Stage

Oxfordshire four-piece The Mezz followed up their breakthrough performance at the Isle of Wight festival at the Godney Gathering in Somerset recently.

Playing the This Feeling Stage, they had their guitars set to delight! Their former single, ‘Now I Found You,’ oozed with so much charm that, by the end of its proceedings, it had become a fan favourite for future gigs. The crisp synths and delicate guitars dazzled with main stage charisma.

‘Town Boy’, taken from their self-titled EP released in March, was, and will be for years to come, the perfect platform for frontman Ben to become an icon. His infectious vocal rises to inspirational in the climatic moments, matched only by his sumptuous guitar parts.

The Mezz are set to play The Macbeth in London with Billy Otto on August 9th. Click below for tickets:

The Lo-fi guitars and frontman Benji Leak’s razor-sharp vocals on ‘Red Stripe Remedy’ had the tent buzzing. The heartfelt decrees of “working 9-5” and “it’s life” were poetic reminders of why this crowd has come together.

‘I Caught Feelings’ doubled down on the emotion with its euphoric "oh ahh” hooks and infectious Two Door Cinema Club licks. Meanwhile, the effervescent energy of the new single ‘Sun Kiss’ and the cover of Franz Ferdinand’s ‘Take Me Out’ sent the Essex gang off again as heroes.

Lock-In’s latest single ‘Sun Kiss’ is out on the 9th August. Click below for tickets to their upcoming This Feeling tour:
