FORM Presents Case oats \+ Special Guests Baseball caps and horsetails, porch swings and “all else that fails”-these are the lyrical stomping grounds of Case Oats, the group led by Casey Walker and Spencer Tweedy. Transplanted from Missouri to Chicago, Walker has a knack for getting to the “gooey heart” of relationships and experience, of bringing a city-dwelling life back down to earth. With an unadorned delivery and an unflinching eye, Walker relates songs about moving on, about growing up in the Midwest, and about loyalty to desperately flawed people and gratitude for pain, for the way things end up. Case Oats’ yet-to-be-announced debut album is a well-defined, inviting labor of love. Light on pastiche and heavy on intention, their arrangements, backed by a group of longtime collaborators, put Case Oats on a continuum of porch-sitting, familiar songwriters. Presented by FORM.

We are excited to announce that our next REFORMATION event will feature KÜHLE MATROSEN making their UK debut, with support from London's NOTHING NEW Kühle matrosen DIY - Minimal - Synth Wave - Neue Deutsche Welle - Post-punk Based in Hamburg , Kühle Matrosen (KM) features Hubert Kühl (vocals), aka Lars Trombose, and Marc Trose (machines). Their name pays tribute to “Blaue Matrosen” by Der Moderne Man (1982). After years exploring rap, electro, and techno, Lars Kühl took a new direction in 2018, inspired by Andreas Dorau’s performance at Hamburg’s “Hanseplatte.” He shelved his techno records to create a raw DIY sound inspired by early ‘80s acts like DAF. The result: their first tracks “Bräutigam”, “Gold”, and “Theoretisch Magnetisch”, followed by releases on Kernkrach / Hertz-Schrittmacher, Ölband, and Young & Cold Records. With support from NOTHING NEW. Nathan Nothing started a new project in 2019, with the aim of producing synth music that wasn't trying to be anything new. As it has taken over three years to finish any music, this is also not such a new project. There are also several other bands with this name, which fits the theme, but luckily they don't play electronic music. Expect minimal wave and synthpop, with some elements of EBM.

Two wandering souls on a train to nowhere. Yes and Maybe are a Scottish-French duo that blend instinct and precision to craft music that feels both familiar and unpredictable. Meeting online, the French multi-instrumentalist "Yes" and the Scottish producer/vocalist "Maybe" create songs grounded in introspection, storytelling and the indie sounds of the 2000s. Embracing a remote collaboration, their debut album ‘Train to Nowhere’ was written and produced entirely over WhatsApp. It captures raw emotion through intricate melodies, atmospheric vocals and sharp lyricism. For Yes and Maybe, it's all about capturing authentic feelings and creating music that resonates on a deeper level.

Blending sounds of folk and home, Conleth Mc Geary has been pursuing the dream of making music which connects with people - both at home and away.

THE FALLEN LEAVES - serving 'Punk Rock for Gentleman', this classic band traces its roots all the way back to The Subway Sect. Their sound has been described as "Somewhere between The Who and The Ramones and they will be showcasing their latest album: "Simple Songs for Complex People. BRUNO AND THE OUTRAGEOUS METHODS OF PRESENTATION - Doo-wop punk / garage-pop and much more "If Mark E. Smith, Captain Beefheart, and Kim Fowley were all raised from the grave by a tweaking necromancer and charged to raise a babe from infancy to teenhood, you might get something akin to Bruno Wilkinson."

An evening of immersive and exploratory sound at The Waiting Room, Stoke Newington. Emerging from the cracks between drone, ambient and noise, London-based improvisational duo Bone Folder create music of raw emotional weight and sonic intensity. Their sound hovers between stasis and slow transformation - a tensile surface where faint melodies drift, dissolve and re-form in the shadows. Their self-titled debut is released May 1 via GND/LFT. “Explores time and space as highly resonant, fragile and only briefly melodic, synaesthetic dimensions.” - Salt Peanuts Joining them are KGB - “team building exercises through the medium of scary music with friends” .

Same Time, Same Place is an independent party built around a shared love of music without borders - from global disco and funk to house and beyond. Our inaugural night brings together three selectors for an all-night journey through sound, where the focus is on feeling, flow, and the dancefloor coming together over time. Expect warm beginnings, unexpected turns, and moments that stay with you. Come early, stay late - and come together! Devansh is a London-based artist with roots in Brooklyn and Singapore. A multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist, he creates contemporary groove music that blends psychedelic soul, future funk, indie pop and global influences. His DJ sets reflect this same openness, moving fluidly across genres while keeping a strong sense of rhythm and musicality. Journeyman (Abhay), f.k.a. Synthetic Feeling, has played across cities from New York to Mumbai to Goa. His sets draw from a wide spectrum, from disco and old-school house to deeper, percussive and minimal sounds - always with a focus on versatility and reading the room.

Step out of the city and into an immersive woodland for a special show to celebrate Echo Juliet’s new EP, Lift Your Face to the Sun. Echo Juliet uses her first love of percussion as the defining element of her sound. The producer and DJ swapped her classical music degree for Ableton, a midi vibraphone, and decks. A friendly, yet formidable force, her unique live electronic set-up has seen her warm up for Marshall Jefferson, 1-800 Girls, Max Cooper and Anchorsong. Receiving comparisons to Four Tet and Bonobo, her colourful productions dwell on the fringes of club music, leaning towards the leftfield. From high energy excitement to dreamy textures, she draws influence from broken-beat, deep house and classical percussion. Independently releasing her debut EP Abandon Reality in 2023, it was complemented with a remix from award-winning producer Gold Panda, and attracted the support of BBC 6Music tastemakers including Tom Ravenscroft, Nemone, Cerys Matthews, Steve Lamacq and Gideon Coe. She also featured on a compilation alongside electronic icons The Orb and 808 State. Echo Juliet is continuing her dreamy trajectory with 4 new EPs in 2026, which have so far been featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic list, played on Gilles Peterson's 6 Music show, and seen her named one of DJ Mag's emerging artists to watch.

We are delighted to announce that our next REFORMATION party will feature DER BÜROKRAT making their debut UK gig! Der Bürokrat is the necessary collision of two pivotal trajectories within the European underground. On one side, Ben, the sonic architect behind the electro-dark cult Hammershøi; on the other, Jules, the voice and electro punk-ebm nerve of Zug. Having closed their respective chapters on the stages of major international festivals, the two multi-instrumentalists have merged into an entity that rejects the superfluous. Their synthetic minimalism transforms Italian-French aesthetics into constant tension: a sharp dialogue between Teutonic rigor and Italo-French creativity. Der Bürokrat does not seek space. They occupy it by right. The bureaucracy of rhythm meets the disorder of the soul. 100% Electro-Minimal-Dark-Italo-French wave /// Reformation After-Party until 3.30am with Special Guest DJ's Stanze Fredde /// Presented by REFORMATION CLUB This is an 18+ event

Larimae is a UK-based electronic duo, consisting of Roma Agnihotri and Sam Hughes. After meeting at university, they bonded over a shared love for experimental music inspired by an eccentric lecturer who broadened their perspectives on audio. Shortly after graduating, Roma and Sam started using these ideas, incorporating them into their dance and electronic tracks. Larimae quickly started DJing in London and throwing raves in the UK countryside. During this time, they began testing their music, gradually adapting their songs to suit the environment through tape loops, organic sounds and sampling. Their sound is also shaped by custom synths and instruments hand-made by Roma. Most recently, Larimae remixed singer Ruti’s track “Monster” as part of a remix package. This was alongside a version from Mala and premiered by Mixmag. They are set to release two new singles later this month and are booked to perform at Field Day 2026. Presented by Eat Your Own Ears.
