This year we have something very special and for the first time in Just Push Play history we have a set of incredible co-headliners including Blue Nation. Having performed in 2023, they made such an impact that I broke my own ‘no two years in a row rule’ and invited them back for 2024. We have spoken in private about their return to the Just Push Play Stage, and August 2027 feels right!
Gorilla Riot have been a huge part of Just Push Play history delivering storming sets both in 2021 and when they headlined the Friday Night Shindig in 2024, this alongside an overwhelming demand to have them back and the release of their incredible latest album ‘Salvation’, Gorilla Riot will be back on the Just Push Play stage for a co-headline set! And they’re just as excited as we are:
“We are stoked to be heading back to JPP next year. It’s always a great crack & it’s for an amazing cause so what more do you want!”
After their incredible EP ‘Escape the Fire’ and with new music on the way, which is absolutely all killer and no doubt just a taste of things to come, a brand new lineup is already making their mark across this land. I am very proud to have the brilliant JOANovARC join us. Emma, of course, performed with False Hearts back in 2019, so it’s great to have her back on the Just Push Play stage.
“We are super excited to have secured a slot at this year’s Just Push Play Festival! After reforming with a new lineup in January 2024, we really appreciate the support from Lee Graham. We can’t wait to be a part of this incredible event, all raising money for such a worthy cause. It’s going to be an amazing experience!” – JOANovARC
In 2024 they joined us doing an acoustic set at the ‘Friday Night Shindig’ this time around, they are back with a full band and a full electric set kicking things off. The brilliant James Kennedy & The Underdogs! They were an absolute discovery for me last year after my good friend Alec, the Crazy Cowboy himself, sent me their ‘Make Anger Great Again’ album, so I was over the moon to have them play at Just Push Play Friday Night and even more excited to have them on the main stage this year.
“We are super stoked to be joining the mighty Just Push Play 2025. It’s an honour to be sharing the stage with such an incredible lineup of awesome bands and all for an amazing cause. We met so many brilliant people there last time and had such a great time, so we can’t wait to come back and do it all again bigger, louder, and crazier!” – James Kennedy and the Underdogs
The brilliant MeMe Detroit will be making their JPP debut and I genuinely can’t wait. One of the most exciting, dynamic acts on the scene and frankly, one of the best songwriters out there right now.
“We’re stoked to be joining the line up at Just Push Play 2027, alongside an already incredible line up. We can’t wait to jump on that stage and raise the roof, especially when it’s also for an important cause that’s really close to our hearts — see you down the front” – MeMe Detroit
Kicking things off for 2027 the brilliant For the Forsaken will be opening up Just Push Play in style! These guys have been playing storming sets up and and down the country and I love what they stand for, I’m beyond thrilled to have them open things up!
“We are very excited to have been asked to open such a well established festival for such an amazing cause” – For the Forsaken
