⚡The Entitled Sons are one of the UK's most exciting emerging rock bands. Made up of brothers Billy, Charlie, Raffey and Laurie, alongside bassist Graham Swift, the Somerset five-piece have built a reputation for electrifying live performances, sharp song-writing and a sound that effortlessly blends anthemic indie-rock with emotional honesty.

2026 has seen the band continue their rise with appearances at The Great Escape, a nationwide record store tour and festival performances across the UK. Their latest single, Epitaph (Not There), produced by Fred Abbott (Noah and the Whale), represents their most ambitious work to date. Written about the loss of a close friend, the track explores grief, guilt and the moments we wish we could relive, revealing a depth and vulnerability that signals the band's evolution as songwriters.

Still fiercely independent and driven by a passion for writing songs that matter, The Entitled Sons continue to establish themselves as one of British rock's most compelling new acts.

⚡The Ariston

The Ariston are a London indie/alternative rock four-piece formed in the early 2020s by Luca Slade (vocals) and Will Parsonson (bass), later joined by Finn Bunce (drums) and Rich Hiett (lead guitar). Their songs explore identity and emotional experience, drawing on a lifetime’s love of rock’n’roll.

After a standout 2025 supporting The Lottery Winners and playing Latitude and Leeds, they’ve headlined Downstairs at The Dome, sold out Liverpool’s Jacaranda, recorded a BBC Introducing Live Lounge session and closed the This Feeling stage at the Isle of Wight Festival. “Honey, I’d Lie To You” was named John Kennedy’s X-Posure Hot One on Radio X. New single “Fire” is out now, ahead of their EP “This Life I Lead” on 11 December 2026.

Compared to Inhaler, Catfish and the Bottlemen and The Strokes, and tipped by the Official Charts as “ones to watch”.

The Wave Pictures
With Support from Turner Cody
Friday 30 October 2026

The Wave Pictures have spent two decades quietly perfecting a distinctly British strain of indie rock, built on sharp observation, unfussy musicianship and David Tattersall’s instantly recognizable voice. Emerging from London’s DIY circuit, the trio developed a cult following through relentless touring and a prolific catalogue that moves effortlessly between wiry guitar pop, folk storytelling and bluesy garage rock. Their songs are rich with everyday characters, small dramas and wry humour, delivered with an intimacy that feels conversational rather than performative. Unfashionable in the best sense, The Wave Pictures remain enduring craftsmen, valuing songcraft, curiosity and consistency over trends alone.

Ibibio Sound Machine
Chopping Mountain
Saturday 15 May 2027

Ibibio Sound Machine are one of the most compelling and forward-thinking bands emerging from the UK scene - a genre-defying afro-futurist collective blending West African rhythms, electronic textures, disco, post-punk and global club energy into a sound that’s as powerful on record as it is explosive live.

Formed in London in 2013 around the magnetic vocals of British-Nigerian frontwoman Eno Williams and co-founder Max Grunhard, the 8-piece ensemble have built a formidable body of work and a loyal global following

Their discography spans 5 critically-acclaimed albums that showcase their evolution from afro-electronic innovators to dancefloor commanders.

They’ve performed around the globe including high profile sets at Glastonbury, WOMAD Australia & NZ, Wilderness, 6Music Festival, Green Man, Rock En Seine, Glastonbury and many more, as well as supporting Coldplay at Wembley Stadium, and appearing on Later…With Jools Holland twice and a KEXP live session.

Their 6th album will be released later in 2026 on Merge records.

"There’s no weak entry in the Ibibio Sound Machine discography. In the last ten years....Ibibio Sound Machine have gone from being exciting transcontinental party upstarts to a soulful, sophisticated phenomenon" (Pop Matters)

“Bright, buoyant, and continually innovative.” (Clash)

“Utterly refreshing.” (Record Collector)

“Western pop fans will hear echoes of Michael Jackson, James Brown… African music devotees will recognise threads of juju and Afrobeat… a groove-driven melange.” (New York Times)

“Vibrant Afro-funk… kaleidoscopic, euphoric, high-energy soundscapes that feel borderless” (The Guardian)

“A cosmopolitan blend of West African funk and electronic bass music” (Pithfork)

BEX
Sunday 15 November 2026

Hailed as punk’s newest daughter, BEX is a fierce DIY punk rocker who believes in the power of DIY. Known for crafting bass-heavy songs that speak to her experiences as a woman, BEX’s music boldly highlights the ongoing inequalities she sees in the world.

On stage, BEX’s energy is both intense and magnetic. She sings, screams, dances, and commands the crowd with a presence that’s as uncomfortable as it is utterly captivating. Her headline show at Omeara was a packed, high-octane experience where fans moshed, crowd surfed, and celebrated her infectious, unrestrained spirit, with critics praising her “irresistible mix of charisma and edge” (Metal Junkbox) and her “joyful, smirking defiance” (Metal Talk).

BEX has tore festivals stages at 2000trees, The Great Escape, Download, and Burn It Down, while also lighting up support slots: WARGASM, SNAYX, Saint Agnes and Mannequin Death Squad. BEX premiered her latest single ‘Sum Kinda Syko’ at the Roundhouse at the AIM Awards, where her fearless individuality took centre stage. With 2026 ahead, BEX is ready to take her DIY spirit even further, rallying her fans in a punk-fueled world of energy, safety, and unrestrained joy.
