Backed by a 14-piece orchestra, the line-up for Nottingham Rocks on Saturday 6th September has now been announced and will now look to emulate the likes of Indiana and Saint Raymond.

Singer-songwriter and headline act, Joel Baker, who’s mesmerising vocals and moving lyrics have attracted serious national attention already, will team up with fans including Radio 1’s Huw Stephens and Fearne Cotton.

Shelter Point’s haunting sound, mixing beautiful melodies against heavy bass, has earned the duo rave reviews, national airplay, and comparisons to artists such as James Blake and Radiohead.
