Inspiration drawn from the likes of Savages, Le Tigre, The Spice Girls and unresolved trauma; not only do Lambrini Girls plan on setting your bin on fire - they want to create spaces at shows for anyone who feels like there isn’t a place for them there already.

As founding songwriter-in-chief Marco Coti Zelati, aka Maki explains, while the writing process for Lacuna Coil’s tenth studio record began in December, the record’s real creative birth coincided with the release of 2022’s Comalies XX, a 20th-anniversary reimagining of their landmark 2002 record, Comalies.

Mclusky

17 Oct 2025 - 28 Nov 2025

Mclusky (often stylized as mclusky), originally known as Best, were a three-piece post-hardcore group formed in Cardiff, Wales. The group consisted of Englishman Andrew "Falco" Falkous (vocals, guitar) from Newcastle Upon Tyne, Jonathan Chapple (bass, vocals) and Jack Egglestone (drums), who replaced previous drummer Matthew Harding in late 2003. According to the band, they originally formed in 1996 when Falkous and Harding met at the Blackwood Miners Institute, a venue in their home town. The pair met Chapple a short time afterwards at the Reading Festival when they caught him urinating on their tent late in the night. More realistically it has been suggested that Falkous and Harding met when working together at Anglian Windows, a small double-glazing call centre in Cardiff. They discussed their musical ambitions after a conversation about Reading Festival, Falkous gave Harding a tape of songs he had written on his own, and shortly after they formed a band called Best after early Beatles drummer Pete Best. The original bass player for Best was Geraint Bevan, Harding's old musical comrade from The Derelicts. Best existed in this form for almost a year before Bevan left to concentrate on his acting career, but not before Best had played a show with a band called 'Myrtle', which featured the bass guitarist Jon Chapple. Shortly after the departure of Bevan, the remaining two members managed to convince Chapple to join the band; this was based on the strength of the three track demo Best had recently finished at 'Ocean Studios' in Cardiff (this cassette which was sold by the band themselves was the unofficial debut, entitled the Benedict EP). Best signed to London label Seriously Groovy and released their official debut record, the 3-track single "Huwuno". The band changed its name to Mclusky in 1999, releasing their first full-length album My Pain and Sadness is More Sad and Painful Than Yours in 2000 on the Fuzzbox imprint before drawing international attention with their critically praised second album Mclusky Do Dallas in 2002. In 2004 they released their third album The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire to positive reviews. They worked frequently with recording engineer Steve Albini.

Everything we do, we do ourselves,” says former Camberwell student, Steen. “From our songs to our clothes to the artwork for the singles, T-shirts, and fanzines. It’s all us.

NewDad

Genitorturers

4 Sept 2025 - 13 Sept 2025

The Genitorturers are not just a band-they’re a full-on sensory assault, a electrifying fusion of sound and spectacle that defies convention and demands attention. Hailing from the United States, this industrial metal powerhouse has carved out a notorious reputation since their inception, blending the raw aggression of heavy metal with the abrasive, mechanical pulse of industrial music. But what truly sets them apart is their fearless dive into the provocative, the taboo, and the unapologetically sensual-a cocktail of performance art and sonic chaos that leaves audiences both captivated and unsettled. Led by the enigmatic and commanding presence of frontwoman Gen, the Genitorturers emerged from the underground scene with a mission to push boundaries. Their music is a visceral experience-think grinding riffs, pulsating beats, and lyrics that oscillate between seductive whispers and guttural roars. Tracks like “Lecher Bitch” and “Devil in a Bottle” showcase their ability to weave dark, hedonistic themes into anthems that resonate with the rebellious and the restless. It’s industrial metal with a razor-sharp edge, polished with a subversive sheen that dares you to look away-and makes it impossible to do so. Divergent Promotions presents by arrangement with Satellite Touring All ages (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult)

This has led to shout outs from mega influencers such as Khloe Kardashian, Tommy Mallett and many others. ADMT has been connecting directly with fans through his own music since 2020. Realness and relatability are at the core of what drives him as an artist and his songs touch on everything from mental health to the power of great friendships and the almost inevitable fck ups we make when having a fun night out. Since his first releases, he has been invited to feature on the Xmas episode of Golden Globe winning TV show Ted Lasso, undertook the Three Peak Challenge for Mind and connected with millions of people online. Summer festival appearances follow on from sold out headline shows in London, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield. It’s a performance not to be missed!

The Feeling are five twentysomethings from Sussex and London who love pop music. Great big no-nonsense, hook-filled, giant-chorused pop music music for the masses, only intelligent, with sunshine hooks and killer choruses that everyone can hum, from plumbers to professors. The Feeling, who are all between 25 and 27, are overnight sensations with a bit of a past, cutting their teeth as session musicians on a variety of mainstream and marginal recordings. They're all from Sussex, except Dan, who's from London. Paul, Kevin and Ciaran even went to the same school: Paul and Ciaran were in the same year. The Sussex axis of the band have been friends for 13 years. They met Dan and Richard at music college in Croydon 10 years ago, and they've been working together in various forms ever since. Five years ago they went through their "Hamburg era" when they appeared for several seasons in the Alps as a covers band who specialised in versions of Rolling Stones, Kinks, Stevie Wonder and Beatles songs as well as rocked-up versions of '80s hits like "Take On Me" by A-ha, "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles and "Jump" by Van Halen: "Whatever got the crowd going."

Vukovi

30 Jan 2026 - 11 Feb 2026

Scottish pop-punk group Vukovi mix heavy rock riffs with melodic, catchy vocals to create a sound that is as intense as it is fun. Hamish Reilly (guitar), Jason Trotter (bass), and Martin Lynch (drums) were originally three-quarters of a band called Wolves, although their lead vocalist wasn't up to snuff, resulting in his departure from the group. Around the same time, Janine Shilstone (vocals/synth) had just been kicked out of a different band. Luckily, when Shilstone auditioned for Wolves in 2010, all four members felt an instant chemistry. Shilstone's input altered the overall sound so much so that they decided a name change, and a fresh start, were in order; their new name, Vukovi, comes from the Serbian word for wolves. Over the next five years the band worked hard at perfecting their live shows and building a solid fan base, all the while releasing the occasional single or EP, including the Sweet Swears EP in 2012. Amid various setbacks and live tours, Vukovi began working on their eponymous debut, which eventually saw release in 2017.
