The final day of Shynefest 2026 at Merrist Wood College on 30 May is led by Mardy Bums with Mania high on the bill, drawing on the duo’s hook-heavy UK pop catalogue, including tracks like "Looking for a Place" and "I’m Not Shy". The line-up folds in The Upbeat Beatles, whose merseybeat and pop rock set spans Beatles eras, and Ghosts Of Seattle, bringing UK grunge grit. The Nefarious Picaroons, Penny Rebels, Riot Weekend, Bandit Sound and The Fanzines add further guitar-driven energy, while tributes The Sound Of Ac/dc and others extend a closing show built on pop and rock heritage.
