The inaugural Circuit Break festival brought some of the best new alternative acts on the music scene to venues across Northampton.

The new multi-venue festival featured gigs at The Black Prince, The Picturedrome, V&B and The Lamplighter.

Dozens of bands headed to Northampton for the day โ€“ joined by some of the best acts from across the county.

It was great to see such a good turn-out for the event and โ€“ from a snapperโ€™s perspective โ€“ it was a huge success and a festival I hope to see return in future years.

Weโ€™ve not had something like it in Northampton for a good few years and itโ€™s one of those reminders that the town can stage events like it.

It was impossible to get around to everything and โ€“ while mostly being at The Black Prince – I managed to get out to The Picturedrome and Lamplighter too. Wish I’d been able to get around to more!

Iโ€™d managed to see Lemonsuckr relatively recently over at Esquires in Bedford and unsurprisingly, they were standouts from the day โ€“ but there were some other fantastic performances.
