The Subways, who first performed at Godiva in 2016, will be back on Saturday. Formed in 2005, their explosive, explosive performances have earned them a reputation as one of the best bands to see live.
Caitlin McCarthy will perform on the main stage on Sunday. The 17-year-old singer-songwriter will be a familiar face to anyone who has followed the Coventry music scene closely in recent years, with performances at HMV Empire and The Arches already under his belt.
