A SUNDAY IN SEPTEMBER is an annual all-day boutique festival of eclectic, progressive and alternative music, held in a delightful and comfortable (mostly seated) venue in Balham, South London.
Headlining this year will be THE FIERCE & THE DEAD.
Originating in London 14 years ago, they have gradually evolved into one of the most celebrated cult bands of the past decade. Initially an instrumental group, the addition of bassist Kevin Feazey as lead vocalist in recent years has brought a fresh dimension to their sound. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including psychedelic rock, vintage metal records, post-rock, progressive rock, broken analogue synths, and shoegaze, the band has crafted a unique sonic identity.
Their latest album and first to feature vocals, "News From The Invisible World," has garnered widespread critical acclaim, earning a prominent spot on Prog Magazine's list of the best albums of 2023 (second only to Steven Wilson). Additionally, it has secured placements on various other year-end lists, including Classic Rock Magazine?s critics list and readers polls. The anticipation for their upcoming UK tour, featuring live mellotron by Tom Hunt, is evident in the sold-out UK dates, booked months in advance. This tour marks their inaugural festival headline appearances.
The Fierce & The Dead's musical journey includes the release of 4 albums, 4 EPs, and 3 live albums, released either independently or through their association with Bad Elephant Music. Their breakthrough 3rd instrumental album The Euphoric (2018 BEM) was Classic Rock Magazine's Prog Album Of The Year and 8th in Prog Magazine's critics? choice. Prog magazine included them in their 100 Prog Icons. Having graced stages at festivals across the UK, USA, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands, the band currently release through their self-owned label, Spencer Park Music.
Other acts will be announced shortly.
