Shura, Superfood, Gengahr, Money and more to play for Best Fit at the 2017 Indie Music Cup

Shura, Jamie Lee from MONEY, Ryan from Superfood, Felix from Gengahr and Slow Club's Rebecca Taylor have all signed up to play on our team in the annual Indie Music Cup.

The one-day five-a-side football tournament sees the independent music industry come together to raise money for good causes. Now in it’s third year, the 2017 tournament has doubled in size and will host 32 mixed gender teams.

This year, all proceeds from the event will go to Syria Relief and benefit directed ae ‘safe school’ in Ghouta, an area which has been besieged for 6 years, where the education system has completely collapsed and currently school enrolment is at 6%.

It's a full day out too, with a record fair, food, a soundsystem and an afterparty - details on those below.

Where and when is the Indie Music Cup?
