Queer as Punk at Leith Depot starring:
PAL
PAL were formed in Edinburgh in 2012 by a lobster-clawed pop svengali and have gone from strength to strength wowing crowds across the central belt. The live shows have been described as "riot girl stand-up" and "speed dating for losers" and have taken place in interesting venues such as a brewery, a shipping container, and most recently, Glasgow. Keen philanthropists, the team look forward to future opportunities to bring compassion and friendship to music lovers everywhere. They released their debut album 'Blood Anthems' in 2024.
Dinky Bossetti
We are Dinky Bossetti, a 3-piece mostly trans DIY riot grrrl punk band from Newcastle Upon Tyne. We are influenced by bands like Babes In Toyland, Hole & The Replacements. We released our debut EP ‘Trans Sister Radio’ in December 2023 & it’s follow-up, ‘Pink, White & Blue’ in January 2025 to great press coverage. We have played around 30 shows including the Noisy Daughters stage at Stockton Calling in 2025 and supports to Skating Polly & Death Valley Girls at The Cluny in Newcastle & Mouses’ album launch in Middlesbrough. We sing mostly about the experiences of being LGBTQIA+ in the current climate & rubbish men & politicians.
