Line-up
Vacant Weekend
Vacant Weekend is an alt-pop trio from Cumbria, currently based in Manchester. The band’s distinct sound draws inspiration from disco and Motown layered with noughties indie-rock influences such as Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats. Expect funk-inspired, groove-focused, cathartic indie rock with a strong sense of melody and momentum.
XL Poncho
The five-piece group XL Poncho formed in the summer of 2025, when Olivia, Maty, Matt, Sam, and Seb discovered their electric musical chemistry. The group’s sound sits at the intersection of bold, attitude-packed vocals and punchy, high-energy instrumentation. The songs themselves capture the chaos, excitement and uncertainty of growing up, offering a soundtrack for anyone figuring life out along the way.
Elin Grace
Manchester-based singer-songwriter Elin Grace blends the warmth and intimacy of indie folk with the sophistication of jazz and classical influences. Her style is defined by poetic lyricism, rich arrangements, and a vocal delivery that feels both intimate and powerful. For fans of meaningful lyrics and music that resonates deeply, Elin Grace is an artist to watch.
Tal-é
Tal-é is a Manchester-based instrumental electronic fusion project, known for delivering rich sound design with responsive live interplay, creating music that feels both meticulously crafted and instinctively human. Drawing on influences from electronic, world, jazz, funk and experimental music, Tal-é prioritises rhythm, texture and momentum, allowing tracks to evolve organically in real time and inviting audiences into an ever-shifting hypnotic soundscape.
