The Artists

Headline: Sweet Gene

Melody obsessed, groove driven 4 piece. Drawn to Manchester by the music culture brothers Freddie and Matt soon found themselves living and making music with friends in Dove Ellis and Westside Cowboy. Hooking up with the rhythm section, Henry and Milo, really locked in the band's groove. Whilst working with the band, Producer Pranam Mavahalli has seen the bands sound truly take shape in 2026.

Support: Wupie

Manchester based alt-rockers wupie, is a group project formed and fronted by Ross Bagley. With influences ranging from jazz, electronica, and folk; wupies music is a dynamic mix of woozy guitars, ambient soundscapes, and loose-limbed rhythms - all tied together with humble songwriting and melodic sensibility at its core.

Support: James Hyde

James Hyde is a singer-songwriter and composer from Manchester. The lyrical melodic content of their work, often accompanied by finger picked guitar, is greatly influenced by the folk music upon which they were raised. Used as an emotional outlet, the lyrics of their songs often adopt a reflective and self-contemplative nature.
