In the face of these successes, the band members decided to put themselves to the ultimate test for the creation of their third full-length, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea: they took a year off from touring and focused all their energy on songwriting.

The Reytons

The Reytons

10 Oct 2026 - 30 Oct 2026

Harbouring the clatter, clamour and camaraderie of a night out fuelled by cheap vodka Red Bulls and questionable decision making, South Yorkshire four-piece The Reytons need little introduction – you’ll hear them coming a mile off. Armed with little more than their instruments and inherent ability to tap in to their burgeoning fanbase, causing a zealot-like devotion in their fans, the band’s rise from “kids off the estate” to homegrown hero status has been nothing short of meteoric; a trio of sell-out Sheffield shows in the last 2 years cementing their reputation instantly. With the same cheeky everyman charm as fellow Sheffielders the Arctic Monkeys, before they could afford cocaine, it’s not surprising the band are on a rapid ascent to the top of their game. It’s not just South Yorkshire in which Reytons fever has well and truly taken hold. Having successfully sold out the entirety of their debut tour, it’s clear that word has spread beyond the confines of the Steel City; the band’s infectious brand of indie rock and burgeoning reputation proceeding them wherever they go. And it’s not just on the UK’s stages in which the buzz is getting louder, however. Having notched up over half a million Spotify streams across their three EPs, Alcopops & Charity Shops (2018), Kids Off The Estate (2017), and It Was All So Monotonous (2017), the band’s prolific run of releases shows no sign of slowing down, as forthcoming single ‘Wide Eyes and Halos’ picks up where last year’s ‘Canine’ left off, its clattering drums and careering guitars slotting in effortlessly within the Reytons’ canon. Armed with little more than an array of heavy-hitting singles and their own integrity, The Reytons are very much a band on the cusp of a breakthrough. A mouthpiece for the disenfranchised as uncompromising as they are uplifting, it seems that for lads from South Yorkshire are putting Sheffield back on the UK’s musical map.

Don Broco

28 Sept 2026 - 14 Oct 2026

Don Broco’s roots go back to the late 2000s when vocalist Rob Damiani, guitarist Simon Delaney, drummer Matt Donnelly and bassist Luke Rayner were attending Bedford Modern School together. After secondary school, they went on hiatus to attend university, but made a pact to return to playing post-graduation. Between 2009 and 2011, Don Broco performed at several UK festivals including Camden Crawl, Underage, Download, Sonisphere, Slam Dunk and Reading & Leeds. Although Rayner departed the band in 2012, they released their debut album Priorities that year and it broke into the UK top 40 singles chart. Tom Doyle also joined the group around that time as the new bassist. The standalone song You Wanna Know came out in 2013 and topped the UK rock singles chart. Don Broco scored their first UK top 10 album with Automatic, which came out in 2015 and reached the No.6 spot. It also helped them land a support slot on Bring Me The Horizon’s 2016 UK tour. Known for mixing massive hooks with brilliant melodies and clever, observational lyrics, by this time Don Broco’s sound had grown to encompass elements of funk, dance and new wave.
