Community Festival line-up: six must-see acts

Community doesn’t really have headliners, but if it did then south London soul singer Lianne La Havas would be among them. Ahead of a Brixton Academy date in December, this is a chance to get intimate with her impressive ‘Blood’ album.

Remember Jamie T when he was a talented young strummer from Wimbledon with a twinkle in his eye and a set of perfectly formed songs that married urban grit with urbane wit? Then Jordan Cardy, a teenage bard from Chelmsford, will be your new indie hero.

Probably the weirdest breaking pop star since Gaga, PM is a Parisian singer who plays off a wispy and weird Lolita aesthetic against some absolutely killer piano-bashing pop tunes. Don’t miss her while she’s still playing club venues.

The only track we’ve heard from this new band is called ‘Priestess’. It’s a seven-and-a-half minute dark psychedelic romp with a pulsing bassline, a skronky sax solo and the frankly excellent lyric ‘It must be hard being so statuesque’. We’re excited and you should be too.

After kicking about on the London scene for a few years (including a support slot with Primal Scream) this awesome feminist DIY punk trio are getting some long overdue attention. This will go off.

Community’s biggest coup is getting this young US rap up-and-comer on a plane over from Long Beach to drop his edgy, barebones beats and whipsmart lyrics at his first UK headline show. Basically: big.
