DTV Fest

A night bringing the queer community together from the North East and beyond featuring GIRLI, NIMMO, BIGFATBIG, THE TIMEWASTERS + DJ SET FROM SAMARA LABORIEL

DTV Fest will celebrate artists from Non-Binary garage-rocker Du Blonde’s queer DIY record label Daemon TV, as well as close pals and queer icons.

As a record label centred around inclusion, representation and removing barriers in the music industry, they're teaming up with Pop Recs to bring an experimental programme showcasing regional and national queer artists to new audiences in Sunderland - focussing on accessibility with low and pay as you feel ticket pricing

DTV Fest will be headlined by unapologetic pop-rock princess girli. A previous collaborator with DTV, the queer pop songstress is currently selling out dates accross US and Europe on her F**ked It Up tour, stopping off in Sunderland for this one off performance before a host of summer festivals.

Girli will be joined by queer dance-music duo NIMMO, bringing their high-energy, cathartic and joyful performance style to the North East. Joining the bill will be local pop-punk legends and long-time DTV family bigfatbig, geordie rock-pop non-girlband The Timewasters and local DJ Samara Laboriel

The night will also host a pop up from local non-profit queer cic Tyne & Queer, as well as a stand for all DTV merch, clothing and music.

ALL WELCOME but this event particularly aims to provide an accessible and safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community that is currently lacking in Sunderland and the North East as a whole. No one turned away for lack of funds. All profit will go towards CIC Pop Recs to help them continue their fantastic work in aiding the local community.
