INDOOR STAGE

Van Houten - Van Houten’s core is based on life long friendship, an inability to exist without each other, and an obsession with creating a sonic mixing pot of intimate lo-fi rock + cavernous Shoegaze.

Black Bordello - Black Bordello are an art-rock band from London, fronted by Sienna Bordello, whose emotive soprano and macabre lyricism have been compared to the likes of Bjork, Kate Bush, and Siouxsie and the Banshees. Spearheaded by Sienna’s operatic vocals and vivid, fragmented lyricism, their metamorphic brand of alternative rock is enchanted with elements of vaudeville, post-punk, jazz, psychedelia, gothic rock and chamber pop.

Vieira and The Silvers - ‘London newcomers Vieira and The Silvers take their classic rock and protopunk heroes by the hand and carefully subvert expectations. Nostalgic sensibilities, contrasted by flashes of modern art-rock, indie, soul and disco, set the sextet apart from mere revivalism, and establish them as a compelling modern rock band.’

French Nancy - post-punk two piece bringing an introspective energy to their music, blending bass, guitar, atmospheric synths, and machine-driven beats.

The Glowworms - WORM OR DIE

Lemon Power - Lemon Power plays Spaghetti Western indie rock, a genre-fluid extravaganza. Blending atmospheric soundscapes with raw energy, they embody cinematic chaos with every note. Expect drama, distortion, and spiritual drift moods in a sacred setting.

Of Iyrn - Of Iyrn are a London-based band rooted in the Black Country, an industrial heartland named after the minerals once mined beneath it: coal and [iyrn]. Formed in 2025, they create emotionally honest songs through live improvisation, blending indie, folk, and Tropicália influences with a warm, melancholic atmosphere. Their sound is influenced by “home”: a concept that transcends borders for the band as they bridge Brazilian music with English and move fluidly between languages.

The Big Chords - Imagine the ambition of Be Here Now played in the spirit of Guided By Voices. You’ve just imagined @thebigchords .

OUTDOOR STAGE

Big Sky Orchestra - An intimate, three-piece acoustic show from five-piece British band, whose music draws from soft rock, funk and Americana. Their focus is their captivating live experience that encapsulates the freedom of the 1960/70s West Coast jam band scene whilst retaining a distinctly British feel. Soaring vocal harmonies and rock and roll guitars are backed up with a jazz rhythm section, building an intricate and spontaneous, yet always driving, brand of funk Americana.

Lex Vervain - A South East London based singer-songwriter/guitarist/keys-player who also plays with Ellie Bleach (Sad Club Records) and previously Tenderhost, Lex’s sound nods towards the Elliott Smith/Bedouine/Alex G alt camp. He released his self-titled debut EP in mid June, co-produced with Joe Futak (Lilo, Tapir, Baggio Band, Luce Rushton). As a solo performer, Lex has gigged regularly around London this year playing at The Windmill, Servants Jazz Quarters, The Ivy House, Bermondsey Social, Moon Lake and more. He's also played a live session for Tom Raine on Boogaloo Radio in March and was DJ Del Osei- Owusu’s ‘One-To Watch’ on 'Fresh On The Net' for April '25 .

Letters to Daphne - folk duo based in South London. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Flyte, Cleo Sol and Joni Mitchell, their music centres around the smaller moments in life, hoping to draw meaning from them.

Sephine Llo - British composer and multi-instrumentalist, with an unconventional song-writing style that marries 18th Century UK folk roots, neoclassical flourishes and organically created glitchy electronica.

Zak Stinchcombe - singer songwriter based in London. He has a deep love for British Folk artists, such as Nick Drake, Richard Thompson and John Martyn, and tub-thumping Americana acts, like The Band and Little Feat, and this shines through in his melodic playing and poetic lyricism.

Esme White - songstress with a love for storytelling and world building. Drawing on influences from country, folk, punk and poetry, she began writing a collection of songs mid lockdown as a way remain engaged and imaginative with the pulse of existence. Her songs combine characters she has encountered, using everyday life, family history, and various mythologies to process the emotional turbulences of life.
