Skinny Lister
Since 2009, London’s Skinny Lister have mastered a high-energy blend of folk and punk. With six albums under Xtra Mile Recordings, including the acclaimed Shanty Punk, they are renowned for their “raucous” live shows. From Glastonbury to U.S. tours with Flogging Molly, their irrepressible spirit continues to ignite global audiences.
Hyperjax
Hailing from Northwest England, The Hyperjax have blazed a global trail since 1996. Blending Rockabilly, Punk, and Psychobilly into a signature “Rock n Roll” sound, the trio gained international acclaim following their 2000 EP Happy Pillz. From the Reading Festival to California tours, they have mastered the art of the heartfelt singalong. Now with Wolverine Records, their fifth album, Bringing the Bad Back Home, infuses power-pop and blues into their raucous, high-energy style. Get ready to punch the air!
Rookie Numbers
Rookie Numbers are a high-octane 7-piece collective paving the way for a fourth generation of ska – ‘Ska-Rave’, with a unique style that combines traditional two-tone with the kinetic electronic influences of drum and bass. They have played many iconic venues such as HMV Empire in Coventry and The Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Rookie Numbers have supported heavyweight ska giants Bad Manners and are lined up for more! Rest assured, their shows deliver more energy than a nuclear power plant!
The Sneak Eazies
The Sneak Eazies are an 8-piece party ska band from Bristol, brewing up a unique blend of brass-heavy beats. Their powerful sound strikes at the very heart of the party. With a 5-piece horn section and banging rhythms, they’ve been getting crowds bouncing across the UK for over a decade. High energy and high spirits are guaranteed.
Pet Needs
Founded by brothers Johnny and George Marriott, Essex-based PET NEEDS have skyrocketed since their 2021 debut, Fractured Party Music. Their third album, Intermittent Fast Living, stormed the UK Official Charts at Number 17 in 2024. Renowned for relentless energy, the quartet has toured globally with icons like Frank Turner and The Hives. From sold-out headline shows to major festival slots at Bearded Theory and 2000Trees, their trajectory remains stratospheric as they gear up for 2026.
Scarlett Fever
Scarlett Fever are the greatest young mod band (from Crewe) you’ve never heard of. Armed with classic mod revival covers from Secret Affair to Squire, as well as taking inspiration from the Stone Roses and Pulp, they perform with an exciting youthful spark. They have their own arsenal of punchy power pop originals, evoking the best music of the last half a century.
Carwyn Mogford and Callum Bell make up a military precise rhythm section, while lead guitarist Harry Edwards provides razor-sharp style. To tie it all up, frontman Tom Scarlett has the charisma, swagger and signature dancing to bounce off the audience. This being their first gig south of Birmingham, it is not one to be missed!
