Showcasing a diverse range of acts spanning multiple genres, Community already promises some true stand-out evenings of new music, with headline performances from Lianne La Havas, Nothing But Thieves, Sunset Sons, Sundara Karma, The Japanese House and Young Guns. Blonde, Community is showcasing the freshest names across the musical spectrum, providing the definitive new music festival of 2016 before it’s even begun. Tickets Ticketweb
