Hard-Fi
Sam’s Stage (Main Stage), Sunday 2027
Richard Archer, Ross Phillips, Kai Stephens and Steve Kemp formed the band in Staines in 2003. Their debut, Stars Of CCTV, was recorded on a shoestring and turned into a phenomenon, giving us Cash Machine, Hard To Beat and Living For The Weekend. Follow-up Once Upon A Time In The West, featuring Suburban Knights, went to number one too. In 2006 they sold out five nights in a row at Brixton Academy.
After a long break, the band came back, and the comeback shows sold out in minutes. In 2026 they released Sweating Someone Else's Fever, their first album in 15 years. They made it in a former taxi office they turned into a studio. Singles They Ain't Your Friends and Looking For Fun show they've still got plenty to say.
Big choruses, sharp lyrics and a crowd shouting every word back.
