North West based indie pop band The Lilacs formed in 2018 consisting of Ollie Anglesea (Vocals / Rhythm Guitar), Sam Birchall (Lead), Dave Gommersall (Drums) & Matty Johnson (Bass).

In just a few years together, The Lilacs have burst onto the scene, quickly moving from local venues to larger capacity headlines at Manchester’s gorilla, multiple appearances at major festivals such as the Isle Of Wight Festivals “Big Top” as well as headlining a SOLD OUT O2 Ritz Manchester.

Accumulating over five million Spotify streams to date, the band have attracted frequent radio plays from both national and local stations including multiple plays on Radio X, Xs Manchester and BBC Radio 1. With another massive year ahead and an army of Lilacs fans behind them, who knows what’s next for these lads.
