Drew Thomas + Lightlines, George Huxtable
Coming-of-age stories told through a modern gaze, DREW THOMAS grew up on music channels, scratched CDs, and the glow of a TV left on too late. Inspired by the turn of the millennium. A grit-pop revolution lives in that in-between space. Drew's songs unpack sexuality, hiding your feelings, and the familiar moment of falling out with the bathroom mirror. Rock music shaped by early-noughties honesty, written for anyone who grew up feeling out of place, still learning how to love themselves and the journey that comes with it. Following 2025’s acclaimed Watershed EP, Drew steps into his next era with confidence, cementing his place as a modern LGBTQ+ artist. Breakout single “Girls Like Girls” went viral, pulling in over 2 million Instagram views alone, while “Do They Even Know You” earned BBC Radio 1 plays, along with spins across Amazing Radio, Total Rock and various online radios around the world, and named one of Dean Jackson’s BBC Introducing Most Played Artists of 2025. With support from LIGHTLINES are a UK alt-pop/rock trio who with loud guitars, driving drums, and honest lyrics, play music that hits hard live. Since debut single Wasted, they’ve crafted catchy, punchy songs designed for stage energy, emotional impact, and unforgettable nights. UK-based Aussie song maker GEORGE HUXTABLE is crafting a sound best called ‘soully pop’. The warmth and honesty of his peformances has won him great support live. His debut album Season 22 was released in 2023. Presented by Success Express. This is an 18+ event

Labyrinthine Oceans

Labyrinthine Oceans

20 May 2026 - 20 May 2026

labyrinthine oceans - are a female-fronted grungegaze band based in london (UK). mixing dream rock, grunge, psychedelia and shoegaze, they create something that is not necessarily identifiable but very much exciting. weaving ghostly dreamscapes of guitar based noise, crafting wholly unconventional, dense layers of dreamy discomfort. IOTA - Summoning the nostalgic sounds of shoegaze and grunge, with echoes of early 2000s rock, IOTA lay it all bare through their raw, driving sound in Bristol’s DIY scene. Dream Delay - is the shared vision that SCR and Lonvy dedicated themselves to bringing to life after meeting in London post pandemic. They began shaping ideas they’d each been carrying for a long time, hence the delay. Lonvy told SCR early on she wasn’t necessarily looking to join a band long-term, probably not his ride-or-die singer, as she wanted to focus on a solo project. But it quickly became clear their collaboration was the direction she’d been searching for. Artists: We are always interested in hearing from talented artists.
