GIGS are great. It’s one thing to listen to a great playlist like – checks notes – this one, but it’s even better to hear the bands live.
And that’s what we did last week, by heading to Guildford to catch Tankus The Henge.
You can book tickets to Wokingham Festival over the August bank holiday, but to whet your appetite, we’ve chosen their single You Can Do Anything.
Have a listen and see what you think – tune in for free on Spotify. Our playlist is a mixture that will help you discover something new.

Tankus the Henge – You Can Do Anything
With Tankus the Henge being booked to headline Wokingham Festival on Sunday, August 27 we popped along to their show at Guildford’s Boileroom last week to check them out.
What a night it was.
They are an incredible band of musicians who perform with such enthusiasm and enjoyment that is totally infectious. You just couldn’t help dancing and singing along in a venue that was packed to the rafters with a crowd having such a good time. I now can’t wait to see them again when they come to Wokingham so if ‘you can do anything’, make sure it’s getting your ticket for that – https://www.tankusthehenge.com/
Jessica Winter – Choreograph
Are You Listening Festival celebrates its 10th Anniversary this year and has its usual brilliant lineup and is supporting a great cause in Reading Mencap. It’s a great multi-venue festival with loads of artists appearing including this one.
It’s Jessica Winter and she’s a talented artist and producer who just released her new EP, Limerence, from which this song is taken. Cool electro-pop. – https://www.jessicawinter.tv/
Reliant – Do What You Want
Wokingham/Reading-based indie rockers return with a new single. Recorded at Maidenhead’s Generation Studio it’s another riff-laden song with a catchy chorus and their distinctive sound and vocals.
They’ve played a number of shows this year in the local area and in London so watch out for more soon – https://linktr.ee/wearereliant
