Scouse rockers join star studded line-up at Accrington music festival

A band has been added to the roster for a music festival featuring global superstar Jess Glynne this month.

The Kairos have been announced as the latest addition for the eagerly anticipated iMEP Music Festival on Saturday, September 21 at the home of Accrington Cricket Club. Liverpool-based band The Kairos, who shot to fame with their debut single in 2019 and their EP in 2023, will join a stellar line-up including Irish singer-songwriter, Cian Ducrot.

Made up of Tom, Sam, Owen and Lewis, The Kairos grew up on Liverpool’s music scene, with their regular live performances leading to the development of an atomic sound, generating reviews such as - “Scuzzed up, fuzzed up, Scouse Rock ‘N’ Roll.”

Their debut single, Money Mind, set a blistering benchmark for the tracks that followed, quickly establishing themselves and their influence in rock music.

A first EP, ‘Better Late Than Never’, was released in 2023, with lead singles ‘Thick Of It’ and ‘Trip Through The Night’ receiving airtime on national radio including BBC Radio 1 and Radio X.

A sold out hometown headline show followed their new EP, with rave reviews leading to slots at the Isle of Wight Festival, a football stadium tour with James, arena tour with Red Rum Club and their own, UK headline tour, including the iMEP Music Festival.

Excitement has been building across Lancashire and beyond following the announcement of the festival back in May, with Jess Glynne, the voice behind Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be”, Route 94’s “My Love”, Rudimental’s “These Days” with Macklemore, and the extremely popular “Hold My Hand” as featured on the Jet2 advert, headlining the event.

The festival has been organised by iMEP International Music Event Production.

Eddy O’Brien, CEO of iMEP, said: “We are delighted to announce that The Kairos will be performing at the iMEP Music Festival, these guys are fantastic.

“Their live performances really are incredible, and to anyone who hasn’t been to see The Kairos yet, this is an opportunity not to be missed.”
