A spokesperson for Vans commented;
“‘Great bands playing for a great cause is an honour for Vans to support in a small way”
A spokesperson for Signature Brew commented;
“Signature Brew are really pleased to be involved with Five4Five Fest and help to raise money for the NHS. We’d normally be bringing our beers to our favourite festivals this summer but they’ve been cancelled, so it’s great to be able to come together with some great bands like our friends and collaborators in Enter Shikari to support live music at a difficult time. We’re looking forward to raising a beer for those on the frontline and watching bands we love.”
Five4Five Fest is born as fans and bands alike are facing a summer without festivals. Given the immense strain the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on our NHS and the personal sacrifices and efforts being made by NHS staff, bands and music industry professionals have come together to pool collective strengths with the aim of raising money.
