Voyager: kings and queen of prog singalongs!

Kicking off this all-dayer, now in its second year, Scottish sextet Ebb deliver a polished and impassioned set of space rock, ballads, inventive grooves and straight-up rockers. Endlessly entertaining, the band embrace variety: the atmospheric intro gives way to hard-edged riffing in seven in Tension, Red Light starts with spoken word and finishes with a weird Take Fivesoundalike section, while unison guitar and tom phrases of Suffering battle with growling synths. Singer-guitarist Erin Bennett is a consistently assured and animated presence and drummer Anna Fraser dispatches thoughtful and brilliantly crafted parts. Surpassing many expectations, they set a very high bar.

Dutch combo Downriver Dead Men Go provide an instant contrast – their undeniably morose and downbeat style exploring far darker territory. With a vibe similar to Sigur Rós and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, theirs is a set of doom-laden textures, slow-building intensity and almost unrelenting tension. Guitarist Michel Varkevisser delivers some lovely fretboard manoeuvres, channelling Gilmour in opener Ruins, jangling Chris Isaac in Walking Away and going frenetic during the big set closer Stone In My Heart.

Representing possibly the nearest to classic symphonic prog on the bill and boasting both a new drummer and guitarist, The Gift turn in a set of fan favourites. Highlights include The Willows; keyboard player Gabriele Baldocci whipping out a keytar in Tuesday’s Child; the poignant ode to loss, The Tallest Tree; the hard-rocking Wild Roses (possibly the greatest song Thin Lizzy never wrote), and their anti-war epic, Awake And Dreaming.
