Formed in 1978 with a core line-up of Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson, A Certain Ratio emerged from the hallowed grounds of the late 70s punk scene, and from that day on they’ve moved forwards with gleeful disregard for the boundaries of style and genre, their eye fixed firmly on constant progression. It’s an ethos that’s open-minded over all else, and that’s seen the band take everything from experimental electronica to vintage funk, and filter it through their own Mancunian lens.

Since exploding onto the UK scene in 2019, The Meffs - aka Lily on vocals/guitar and Lewis on drums/backing vocals - have built up a reputation as purveyors of frantic punk bangers and an absolute must-see live sensation.

One of the earliest groups to be labeled goth rock, Alien Sex Fiend are among the genre's most theatrical acts. They're also one of its most humorous, preferring a campy B-movie aesthetic to the dourness or morbidity of many of their peers. Heavily influenced by the Cramps, Alice Cooper, glam rock, punk, and psychedelia, the group's performances are ghoulish spectacles, and their boundlessly creative music combines heavy electronic beats and noisy guitars with warped, dubby effects and samples. Alternately referred to as goth, deathrock, post-punk, or industrial, ASF are ultimately a category unto themselves. Presented by Songs from the Boneyard This is an 18+ event

British tongue in cheek psychobilly.

DJ Graeme Park began his career in the mid-'80s, spinning records out of the UK town of Nottingham and working at a local record store. His boss bought a club in the city and asked Park to be the house DJ. He had his doubts, but by 1987 he was kick starting the acid house scene with his innovative playlists and an ear for the next big thing. From 1989 to 1992, he continually won the DMC DJ of the Year Award, one of the most prestigious honours in the DJ circuit. He began remixing songs for artists also, and had a regular gig at the Hacienda club where he DJed until its closure. He remains a popular DJ who does not perform very often any more, and he continues to do remixes and work on his own music.

Al Cologne is a London based artist whose songs balance vulnerability with a subtle, reserved confidence. Their debut EP, arriving March 2026 via Joy of Life International, was produced by Benjamin Woods (The Golden Dregs) and introduces a diaristic, kitchen-sink songwriting voice that is unflinching in its intimacy emotional heft. These are songs about identity, control, and transformation; about trying to inhabit your own body, and then trying again the day following. The arrangements are fluid and unfussy, with space left open for the lyrics to land. In that sense, Cologne’s music finds common ground with artists like Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Big Thief, Clairo and Faye Webster, though they move in their own lane entirely.

Pan Amsterdam is a musical enigma wrapped in an enduring riddle. His creator is a jazz musician from Houston who’s found fame working with Detroit punk rock God, Iggy Pop, and British indie royalty, Metronomy, and now makes shapeshifting, adventurous hip hop out of the music’s spiritual home, New York. He’s an irreverent character born out of frustration and named after a misunderstanding, yet one who’s on the verge of releasing his fourth album of truth-slaying, genre-crossing rhymes and beats. So, who is Pan Amsterdam? Everything you want him to be. And more besides. He's performed with hip hop/neo-soul luminaries such as Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, Bilal, Erykah Badu and Mos Def.

"There are plenty of ways to try and avoid the pain and harshness of the real and existential threats of the world in 2026. On new single ‘Have a Pint’, Glasgow duo Cowboy Hunters’ prescription is simple.
