KEG
Bursting with a frenzied love for the ‘song’, KEG toe the line between jagged post-rock energy and a deep-rooted flair for harmony and craft. Nodding to Minutemen, Fugazi and Radio 4, they bend genres without straying far from the rock realm. With seven members, Keg generate a joyful chaos—barbed guitars, skewed synths, blasts of trombone, and glimpses into a confused man’s mind. They swing from college rock to hardcore and wander into ambient and melodic terrain, always restless, always evolving.
Their EPs Assembly (2021) and Girders (2022) earned praise from NME, Loud and Quiet, So Young, and BBC Radio 6. Now they return with their anxiously awaited debut Fun’s Over in early 2025—and the chaos continues.
Kaat van Stralen
Kaat Van Stralen blends punk attitude with genre-bending chaos. What began as a solo project has grown into a full band, with snarling guitars, pounding drums, and basslines that hit like a gut punch—all beneath Kaat’s sharp, commanding vocals. From punk and psychedelia to spoken word, nothing is off limits. In early 2025, she released her debut single 'Stop Met Wenen', a punk rock anthem for all women, misfits, and feelers that instantly topped the charts in Belgium. Think Amyl & The Sniffers meets Wet Leg with a Flemish twist—raw, loud, and unapologetically weird.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
Hailing from Australia, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are a beloved psych rock band that’s been releasing records and tearing up stages for the past six years. Often mentioned in the same breath as fellow Aussies Tame Impala and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard—key players in the country’s modern psych scene—the Crumpets crank their guitars just a notch more hysterical. Their sound? Dazzling multi-layered harmonies, chunky, fuzz-drenched riffs, and delicate ambient detours.
This year, they return with Carpe Diem, Moonman (2025)—their weirdest, heaviest, and most strangely beautiful creation to date. If you’re into all creatures great and small, buckle up: this wild explosion of realism, wonder, excitement, dog bites, Greek philosophy, weekend mongrelisms and “what country are we in?” energy is your new retrospective pen-pal. A tale of agnostic jubilation, wrapped in sonic chaos.
Eosine
Eosine is a Liège-based indie rock band led by 22-year-old Elena Lacroix, blending shoegaze dreaminess with psychedelic depth and progressive twists. Their sound—textured, emotional, and immersive—evokes the likes of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, and Psychotic Monks, yet pulses with its own distinct energy. Known for their mesmerizing live shows, Eosine quickly built a reputation as one of Belgium’s most exciting new acts. In 2023, they signed with Mayway Records (home to The Haunted Youth, DIRK., and Meskerem Mees), and have since played festivals like Les Nuits Botanique, Dour, and Left Of The Dial. With new singles on the way and their EP Liminal set for release soon, Eosine is already working toward a debut album that promises to push their sound even further.
CaitC
Straight out of Breda, CaitC is lighting up the scene as one of the most exciting new talents in electronic music. Known for her vibrant energy and fearless style, she blends crowd-favourite bangers, hidden gems, and her own explosive productions into every set. A CaitC performance is a full-on journey; colourful, uplifting, and impossible to stand still to. With a magnetic presence behind the decks, she’s already made waves across Europe, smashing stages at heavyweights like NOX, Rampage, and Liquicity. But CaitC isn’t just a DJ, she’s also a rising producer, with releases on respected labels such as Ridmic Records and Viper. Fueled by passion and driven by pure determination, CaitC is only just getting started.
Cliffords
The Cork-based indie rock/pop sensation Cliffords is taking the music scene by storm! Known for their dynamic sound that effortlessly blends punchy indie energy with irresistible pop hooks. Having already earned comparisons to powerhouses like Wolf Alice and INHALER, they bring a raw, vibrant energy that’s hard to ignore. Fresh off a stellar performance at Electric Picnic’s 3 Stage and with their debut EP ‘Strawberry Scented’ making waves, Cliffords are cementing their place as one of Ireland's most exciting emerging acts. From sold-out gigs in London, Dublin, Galway, Limerick, and their hometown of Cork, they are ready to bring their electrifying live show to you.
Jawnino
The enigma of London’s underground: Jawnino! Emerging from the shadows with his cult 2019 hit ‘It's Cold Out’, Jawnino has carved out a space entirely his own. Fusing grime, jungle, and UK rap, his sound pulses with the raw, restless spirit of London. Unapologetically unconventional, Jawnino weaves gritty street tales with eclectic production, capturing both the chaos and beauty of city life. His music doesn’t fit neatly into one category—instead, it draws from various influences to craft a sound that’s uniquely his. With co-signs from underground heavyweights like MIKE, Kibo, and James Massiah, Jawnino is building a movement on his own terms; no gimmicks, no compromises, just pure, unfiltered expression.
JERUB
From the heart of Nigeria to the streets of Nottingham, JERUB’s journey is one of raw talent and unstoppable momentum. Bursting onto the scene as a standout finalist in BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Introducing talent search, selected from over 10,000 entries, he has been on a meteoric rise ever since. Highlights include an opening performance at The King’s Coronation Concert alongside Pete Tong, and widespread press support from the likes of Wonderland, Noctis, and Notion.

KiLLOWEN
Rapper, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist KiLLOWEN is one of the UK’s most exciting genre-benders, blending UK garage, hip-hop, dance, and soul into tracks that feel both deeply personal and universally infectious. After making serious waves online with the viral hit ‘Sober’, written and produced entirely by the 24-year-old himself, KiLLOWEN skyrocketed to 4.8 million Spotify streams and over 20 million TikTok views, landing at 20 on the UK Viral chart. But this is no one-hit story. From early SoundCloud experiments to collaborating with artists like p-rallel, Arlo Parks, and Finn Foxell, he’s built a sonic world that’s raw, reflective, and relentlessly fresh.
Teenage Dads
From their early singles like "Devil’s Jam" and "Sunburnt", Teenage Dads set out to do something different. The Melbourne four-piece broke free from the typical Australian indie sound, blending elements of ‘80s acts like Devo and Talking Heads, the energy of early 2000s NYC indie, and the infectious drive of bands like Two Door Cinema Club. The result is a unique mix of catchy rhythms, unexpected twists, and an undeniable originality that sets them apart.
