We're excited to be the choice venue for "This World Is Ours," a fantastic play written and devised by Nicola Werenowska and the young people of Stowmarket Youth Theatre!

"Who's in charge? Whose world is it? From a school classroom today, to a high speed train, to a post-apocalyptic Stowmarket - with humour, music and a chorus of crows, our play questions our relationship to power and asks how far will it take us?"

Come and support Stowmarket Youth Theatre and their amazing show on Saturday 19th July - tickets available through our website 🎟

Announcing as our headliner for the JPC stage at .fest! Smashing and selling out venues worldwide, The Molotovs have become one of the UK’s hottest young bands. Sharp, punchy anthems delivered with highly charged stagecraft that leaves absolutely nothing in the dressing room and resonates with an eclectic audience of those in the know. Still in their teens, they’ve been handpicked by the likes of The Libertines, The S*x Pistols, Adam Ant and Blondie to share the stage, and have been championed by Green Day both on stage and in press. With another year of relentless touring and festival appearances, including Isle of Wight Festival and touring Europe with iDKHOW, The Molotovs truly are primed for a 2025 breakthrough.

So to recap, here's the full JPC @ Fomo Fest lineup - The Molotov's, State of Satta, The Downsetters, Black Lounge, Plastic Youth, Wilswood Buoys, Arthur Black, Grace Calver.

Be sure to get your tickets for the festival here - https://fomofest.co.uk/tickets/

See you all on Saturday 30th August at the !
