>> Live Music Line-up:
DÉJÀ VEGA
Jack, Tom and Mike crash and weave together creating a pulsating, driving behemoth of original, powerful, psych rock. They have created a notoriety for their incredible, energetic, unrivalled live show, and are fast becoming a must-see act.
“There are debut albums that come along once in a while that get you straight away. This is one of them.”Louder Than War Magazine
“If you’ve never seen them live I implore you to ”Urbanista Magazine UK
YABBA
Brand new raw and chaotic sleazy disco punks from Dumfries, Scotland. Signed to Nice Swan Records, with an EP due this year. Huuuge plaudits for the live show where members switch up instruments including sax and keys, with loud and angry guitars and vocals fighting to be heard. VICIOUS.
"Scottish noisemakers YABBA made their mark as an incredible live outfit. Heavy riffs, walls of atonal noise and dancefloor drums is a bizarre combination, even more so with frontman Josh Kirk’s frenzied vocal work, but the result is one that truly knocks you for six but keeps you hungry for more." - CLASH MAGAZINE
TIRIKILATOPS
Avant Garde surrealist electro k-pop! YES! The wonky strangeness that is the spectacular, colourful, infectious Tirikilatops, beams down to planet Ferret. Utterly adorable, eccentric in the extreme, and over-loaded with sing-along earworms, and dance-along nuttiness.
TORTURE & THE DESERT SPIDERS
'With blistering intensity and an unapologetic, tongue in cheek weirdness, Liverpool-based garage punk newcomers Torture and the Desert Spiders have emerged from isolation and announced their arrival loud and proud with their brash, spunky and confident new single Money.' - Fast One Last
Torture and the Desert Spiders is a left-field garage project based around the songwriting of New Jersey-raised artist, Anna Kunz. With a fluid lineup, the sound ranges drastically from heartbreaking ballads to intensely jagged post-punk pieces.
Recently they’ve been spun on KEXP’s Sonic Reducer and shared the stage with bands such as The Lounge Society, Peaness, Pillow Queens, Average Sex, Hallan and more as well as played Sound City Festival.
SUGARSTONE
Switched on, neon-lit and ready to blow: Manchester’s Sugarstone are defined by their dreamy soundscapes and electric nostalgia. Sugarstone have been turning heads across Manchester with heavy hitting live performances, sharing a stage with the likes of Kid Kapichi, Calva Louise and Strange Bones.
Supported by BBC Introducing and Radio X (X-Posure with John Kennedy), Sugarstone have plenty more to show in the coming months; further expanding their catalogue and proving how timeless their sound really is.
THE BITTER LAKE
The Bitter Lake bring whirling viola, acoustic guitar and repeating harmonium together in emotive choruses and folk anthems inspired by the dark landscapes and crumbling industry of Lancashire.
FACE ACHE
Here to sink your sorrows and raise your joys via dance. Preston made bedroom pop rock indieness, because everything’s indie these days. Badabing Badaboom.
WHINGE
Your hosts and 'expert curators', Whinge make noise with guitars, synths and drums. Plus shouting.
Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge slam together influences from the Mondays to the Sabbath, ESG to LCD, Genesis to The Rapture.
Don't take all that too seriously tbh.

BARIUM NETWORK (Utopian Mechanics)
Bringing us a minimal wave set ft odd ball 80s synthpop and ambient business. Eschewing the abrasive in favour of easy-going weirdness.
WHINGE DJs
A lavish ape disco, ruining your weekend.
