An incredible all-day lineup ft some of our favourite bands, including the magnificent return of The Orielles with their new album.
///
The Orielles:
"You've got to die and be reborn between albums," begins Henry Wade, guitarist for The Orielles, describing the foundations of the band's fourth studio album, Only You Left. "It comes naturally," adds singer and bassist Esmé Hand-Halford, "it's not something we consciously do."
Through this process of creative renewal, the Manchester-based trio - completed by drummer Sidonie Hand-Halford - have managed to weather a pandemic, defy the fickleness of a trend-led music industry, and emerge, phoenix-like, with something familiarly Orielles, yet altogether different.
Recorded in two locations - Hydra and Hamburg - over the summer of 2024, the 11 tracks of Only You Left sees the band consolidate the bold experimentation of their previous LP, Tableau (2022), with a return to the more stripped-back, song-led approach of their early origins.
"There's nothing more trad than a three-piece," quips Henry, in reference to the band's decision to return to their roots as a trio. Originally from Halifax, the Orielles first came to recognition in 2018 with their debut album, the indie-rock Silver Dollar Moment, which is approaching its eighth birthday in February 2026. "These things come in like seven year cycles. So we've come in like a full circle back to a familiar place, just as different people."
By exploring binaries and contrasts, the Orielles are finding shapes in the chaos and confusion of the world around us - it's an undertaking that benefits from more than 15 years of close collaboration, driven by friendship and the artistic compulsion to find meaning in music.

Midnight Rodeo:
Nottingham-based 6 piece Midnight Rodeo released their debut album, "Chaos Era" (July 2025) to resounding praise from the likes of BBC Radio 6, DIY, KEXP, Shindig & CLASH. After taking their own brand of "joyous escapism" across the UK & Europe during autumn 2025, 2026 already has another UK tour, multiple European tours & a trip stateside caught on the Rodeo's lasso.
Extensive, relentless touring since 2023 (sold-out hometown shows, The Great Escape, Dot To Dot, and Kendal Calling) created a tight-knit family, their pleasure in playing as an ensemble is instantly evident on the album. When asked about this they'll explain, "We want people to tap into why we are always smiling on stage."
The songs are collaborative efforts. Their different musical backgrounds result in a genre criss-crossing and totally unique creative collisions. Bassist Harry says, "What we do is Dada-istic. The drums play hooks, the bass plays parts usually taken by brass, the guitar's playing West Coast psyche over disco rhythms."
///
Man of Moon:
Since their beginning Man of Moon have been a standout live act. The Glasgow-based duo possess an extraordinary talent for cross-pollinating genres and styles but their sound is not hybridised, rather they are a synthesis of their influences; a pure sonic distillation of what has come before. You hear the mesmeric drones of Mogwai, the dynamic shifts of Radiohead, the harmonic angularity of Tool, the industrial amalgam of Nine Inch Nails, even hints of Pink Floyd's austere and abstract lyricism. Man of Moon are so much music in one band. And yet they've always sounded uniquely themselves; there is deep intentionality in every song's construction.

PLUS MORE TBA - we can't wait to reveal the full line-up - but wait we must.
