Sneaky Pete's

Figurines are an Edinburgh based indie band who have had fans singing their original music on the mean streets of Cowgate for the best part of 5 years. With influences such as Radiohead and Tame Impala, you can expect an eclectic mix of high energy original indie rock, with soaring vocals and fused with elements of super tight funk and DnB.

Hot off the back of their recent EP ‘So It Seems’, Figurines have launched into 2026 with brand new music including ‘Fake It Till You Make It’ and ‘The Boot’, the latter of which is a real test of what indie music can be, blending Funk with Rock and Hip Hop.

Figurines are a true Grassroots band and have funded the release of all their music through local Scottish venues and their dedicated fans who are always decked out in the latest Figurines Merch. It is the support of the venues and people in the Edinburgh music scene that has allowed the Figurines to thrive and bring their original music to their busy festival season ahead.

Harry Miles-Watson & The Union are refreshingly different, incorporating a varied melting pot of genres and styles, with aspects of post-punk, folk, country, rock, pop and even jazz. The Edinburgh-based band have already sold out several shows in Scotland’s capital city, headlined Glasgow’s King Tuts and played gigs in Manchester, Leeds, and London. They’ve also secured the Artist of the Week spot in Scotland On Sunday.

Champion Trees play Sneaky Pete’s on the 28th August 2026, support from Kaspar Hauser and the Gordon McGruer Quartet

In 2025, Champion Trees released A Duck’s Water Off My Back, a lush record full of gorgeous woodwind, string arrangements and immersive lyricism. Champion Trees highlight the value of carefully crafted songwriting, blending soft melancholy and relatable humour with rich, evolving instrumentation.

Joining Champion Trees on this tour is Kaspar Hauser, a South London Indie Folk/Champer Pop outfit whose most recent album The Pink Parade, tells stories of love, mental health and nature.

Finally on the bill is The Gordon McGruer Quartet. The Gordon McGruer Quartet is fronted by Gordon McGruer. Based in Edinburgh, he approaches the stage with his “earnest singing, and his unwavering confidence on the guitar” to sing folk songs about drunk magicians, truckloads of bees and birds making love. Gordon’s recent explorations include a suite of songs arranged for the pedal steel, which he will debut at this gig.

The Silver Bars are an indie rock outfit hailing from Barrow-in-Furness, carving out their own space in the UK’s vibrant alternative scene. Known for their high-energy live shows, they quickly made a name for themselves on the local circuit before turning heads further afield. A string of EP’s and singles has since seen the band land slots at major festivals including Kendal Calling and YNOT, as well as support slots for Jake Bugg, The Royston Club, and Scouting for Girls.

Now, with a highly anticipated debut album on the horizon for summer 2026, produced by Ant Chapman (Franz Ferdinand, Klaxons, Squid) their bold new single ‘Headwind’ leads the way for the most exciting chapter to date for the band. The song, which dropped on February 27th, is a heavier-edged track which fuses uplifting indie melodies with wry, clear-eyed undertones. It also carries a statement of intent; an ambition to prove why they’re one of the most compelling emerging acts in the UK right now.

Young Musicians Ruairi Glen, Ben Holroyd, Luka Barrie and Magnus Barnwell come together to play a modern twist on the songbook of John Coltrane. Replacing piano with guitar, this band explores modern jazz while staying firmly rooted in the intensity and deep lyricism of Coltrane’s music. Expect searching improvisation, powerful groove and a unique spin on the music of one of the great jazz improvisers.

Scotland’s newest Bowie tribute band deliver an A to Z (Ashes to Ziggy) set featuring tracks from Space Oddity to Blackstar and all points in between.

Hotter than a Fire In Cairo, these 5 Imaginary Boys (who don’t cry) are London’s primary tribute to Crawley’s finest Goth pop institution. With an uncanny resemblance physically and vocally (once the syrup’s on) to Bob Smith, author, raconteur and music promoter, Andy Macleod fronts this Faith-ful and fun Cure homage playing hits and deep cuts from The Cure’s back catalogue.

Callum Ford brings his emotive pop ballads back to the stage following a headline run last year, and a new album on the horizon later this year.

Pocket Monica shift gears with an alternative folk sound that defies easy labelling – blending Middle Eastern instrumentation, heavy synths, and punchy beats into a Celtic-tinged swirl, honed at Knockengorroch and Kelburn Garden Party.

Saffron Strings close the night with a burst of pumping folk-driven energy, drawing on fiddle, guitar, cajon, and bass from a lineup of seasoned and classically trained players. Leading sessions across the Royal Oak, Captains, and Merchants Tavern, and known for their impromptu Calton Hill ceilidhs and Edinburgh busking antics, they bring a live show that’s certain to get you stomping and dancing.

HENS BENS would like to play some of their new songs for you. Last year they premiered their debut album WORLD’S STRONGEST BAND at a sell-out show in Edinburgh’s Sneaky Pete’s. It changed music forever. They’d like to do the same again and play some of the songs they’re working on for their new album, due for release later in 2026.

Expect very loud pop songs about James Bond, Dragons Den, Graham Linehan, babies, face tattoos, nude clarinet solos, taking the pork industry to court, a disappointing revelation about David Bowie, and HENS BENS’ first ever love song.

HENS BENS’ live shows aren’t like those by other bands. They incorporate fresh fruit, balloons, archery and power tools. They don’t speak between songs, instead relying on computer-generated crowd banter and stupid props. There are LEDs attached to things. There are costume changes. The shows are a combination of loud noises and rainbow nonsense.

“Bonkers and brilliant” (Mark Montague, Phonic FM)

Originally part of scene staple The Party Slogan, guitarist Jamie, bassist Cameron and drummer Calum, who all share vocal duties, have refined the melodic craft of their previous outfit while crafting a more frantic and confrontational sound with Abolish Golf that still retains new-wave and post-punk influences. 2025 saw them add guitarist Sean and perform support slots for formidable Irish folk-punks The Deadlians, as well as the raucous Private Function from Melbourne, plus headlining the T at 3 festival on the Cowgate. They rounded off the year with the release of the single “You Will Never Know”, a dancey alternative rock-influenced track with rumbling synth bass and jagged guitar hooks.

Support comes from Manchester-based desert rockers Scorched Lungs and alt-indie band Papa Hotel from Perth.

With his explosive blend of glam-punk, psychedelia, and goth influences, Brighton’s ELLiS·D guarantees an energetic live show, with an explosion of whiplash riffs, psychedelic break downs, false endings and rip-roaring returns.

Legendary producer, DJ and composer Photek plays this August for an early DJ set at Free Time – Sneaky Pete’s day party series.

Photek stands as a pivotal figure in UK electronic music with seminal releases on Metalheadz and his masterpiece debut album ‘Modus Operandi’ – where conceptual experiments of time and emotive atmospherics pushed the drum & bass template to the edge.

Later flooding the footnotes of electronica with 2000’s ‘Solaris’ and enjoying a hugely successful career as a Grammy-nominated remixer and film & video game composer, Photek has been pushing both his sounds and fans’ expectations to the outermost limits since 1994.

Molded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus, Ohio, three-piece family band Golomb channel Midwest friction into their own brand of physical, guitar-centric experimental rock with plenty of fuzzed-out feedback and driving rhythms.

“Their live shows are jaw-droppingly good, and their music – as evidenced by recent second album ‘The Beat Goes On’ – veers from confident swagger to warm intimacy.” – NME

Paulie Boy Blues is an upcoming blues guitarist from Maryland, USA. This August he is coming over to the UK to headline his 3rd ever UK headline tour, don’t miss out on this.

Horsebath are a Canadian country band known for rich harmonies, classic songwriting and a sound steeped in vintage Americana. Formed in Vancouver, the group lean into traditional country textures – pedal steel, warm guitars and three-part harmonies – while bringing a fresh, contemporary sensibility to their storytelling.

Their music feels timeless rather than revivalist, drawing heavily from ’60s and ’70s country and cosmic Americana. Lyrically, Horsebath focus on heartache, distance, longing and the open-road melancholy that defines classic country music.

There’s a softness and sincerity to their delivery that gives their songs a worn-in, late-night glow. They’ve built a strong live reputation for tight musicianship and harmonies that feel both loose and deeply locked-in – more road-worn barroom than polished Nashville sheen.

14+ this show is for all persons 14 years and over standing only. Under 18s MUST be accompanied by an adult. Doors 7pm curfew 10pm. IF you have access needs or the price of a ticket is a barrier please contact us. Venue is on the ground floor.

Eyes of Home are a promising indie rock band who specialise in creating emotional, upbeat hits for fans of Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Kings of Leon and The Strokes. Consisting of identical twins Shaun and Arron Leishman, with Jack Brady, Tomas Potter and Gregor Smith completing the lineup.

Simultaneously extroverted and enigmatic, Sex Mask are the Melbourne post-punk/alt-rock trio set to be Australia’s next big export. The band’s electric fusion of absurdist punk, new wave and industrial rock – coupled with a reputation for wild, full-throttle live shows – has seen them quickly become one of Australia’s biggest buzz bands following lauded appearances at SXSW, The Great Escape and support slots for Fat White Family, Fcukers and Big Special.

From his early 00s ‘gay church folk music’ via country-tinged indie pop, Joel Gibb aka The Hidden Cameras has always been an outlier. He plays this August to tour his synth-pop heavy latest album Bronto as well as survey the Cameras’ illustrious catalogue of folk, rock, ballad and pop.

At his roots a singer and songwriter, Gibb is a brilliant chameleon of music, experimenting in almost every genre and performance style, collaborating in the past with artists including Mocky, Feist, Patrick Wolf, Chilly Gonzales, Ron Sexsmith, Pet Shop Boys, Rufus Wainwright and R.E.M.

Chapter Two are a Midlothian-based band centred on songwriting, atmosphere and live feel.

Led by Fergus Oswald on guitar and vocals, their sound moves between quiet intensity and full release, with shades of Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, grounded by a more direct, guitar-led edge.

Built through playing live, their sets feel in the moment, immersive and unforced, best enjoyed up close.

Unexpected twists and turns, eclectic variations on hardcore and noise rock, time signatures straight out of a Sudoku puzzle: Concrete Vehicles have everything it takes to become a bloody cult band.

Strictly speaking, within just one year, the seven-piece project has managed to send the entire Vancouver underground scene into a state of sheer ecstasy. Experimental rock and post-punk, rhythmically complex jazz-rock and the delightful dissolution of classic song structures are all brought together on the debut album ‘Station On The Hill’ (2025), creating the conditions for a cathartic borderline experience that divides life into before and after.

While influences from black midi to Black Country, New Road and the Windmill scene are evident, But Concrete Vehicles have grasped that this is not about yet another post-punk revival, but rather the almost Zappa-esque deconstruction of hardcore, fusion and guitar music as a whole. A new sense of drama and a fresh edge are present in every song here. Every stylistic break is a resounding triumph; every live show is already legendary. Anyone who misses this has only themselves to blame.

Formed in 2025, Little Grandad’s songs sound like a sort of Venn diagram of rust-belt Americana, Brooklyn-informed slacker-rock, and warm yet ramshackle British indie guitar rock. It also sounds nothing like those things. It’s chaotic, teeters on the brink of collapse, but somehow hangs together. It’s properly exciting because you can’t put your finger on what it is, and neither can they.

A mainstay on the live scene, Little Grandad has fast become one of the most talked about new bands with a live show that’s equal parts chaos and chemistry.

Immersion are an electronic project led by Colin Newman (of Wire) alongside Malka Spigel (of Minimal Compact). Formed in the 1990s, Immersion explore atmospheric, rhythmic electronic music that sits between ambient, post-punk, dub and experimental sound design. Their work is textured and immersive (fittingly), often built on looping structures, layered synths and subtle rhythmic pulses rather than traditional song forms. In recent years, they’ve re-emerged with projects like Nanocluster, collaborating with artists from across indie and experimental scenes — bringing a more song-driven edge while keeping their hypnotic, transportive core intact.

A heady mix of hooky pop and shredded guitar riffs, Hot Wife are a four-piece slacker rock band from south London. Mischievous and sexy, they make music to soundtrack sacrificing your shitty boyfriend and kissing your friends.

Glasshouse Red Spider Mite is a slow-core/rock band formed in Brighton by long-time friends Alex, Benji & Ethan, later joined by Cesca to complete the current line-up. They’re known for their melancholic & expansive blend of alt-rock/slow-core, demonstrated on the band’s debut EP ‘What Do You Mean The Monster?… Hahaha’, a release that saw them embarking on multiple UK tours, their first European dates, and playing to large crowds at End of The Road Festival.

‘Get in the car because I really wanna talk to you’ is the refrain from GHRSM’s “I’m Batman” that you’ll carry with you for at least a week after hearing it. You’ll find yourself humming it absent mindedly and constantly; the song is quietly a huge work, full of distinct sections that slowly bubble and rise towards a furious ending, no trace of cliche yet peppered with immediately quotable and resonant lines. You’d be bitterly wronging yourself and potentially stunting your entire life by not listening to them.

There’s a quiet power in frances mistry’s music – the kind that draws you in gently, then stays with you.

The Brighton-based indie-pop and folk artist writes with unflinching honesty about identity and connection, steadily establishing herself as one of the UK’s most captivating new voices. a skilled guitarist and storyteller, she threads tender sonics with vulnerable lyricism, shaping a sound that’s wholly her own.

Bones Ate Arfa?are a UK psychedelic street punk/desert rock three piece, made up of Bones (guitar), 8 (drums), and Arfa (vocals & bass). Once described as “Junkyard dog riffs” after the release of their debut single ‘Asbestos’, they have since gained recognition online and in person from Artists such as?Muse, Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Isaac Holman (SOFT PLAY),?Royal Blood,?Tigercub,?cool sorcery,?Demob Happy, and?Bad Nerves. While attaining a respectable following on social media, they have received spins and features on Clash Magazine, BBC Radio 6, Radio X, Dork, Earmilk, Louder Than War, and have successfully burned their stamp into the UK’s southern gig circuit, all in under two years.

14+ this show is for all persons 14 years and over standing only. Under 18s MUST be accompanied by an adult. Doors 7pm curfew 10pm. IF you have access needs or the price of a ticket is a barrier please contact us. Venue is on the ground floor.

Luxembourg’s breakout indie star Francis of Delirium joins us for two Scottish dates this September following the release of new album ‘Run, Run Pure Beauty’.

Lead single ‘Little Black Dress’ is a soaring slice of power pop that’s as catchy as it is cathartic. In singular Francis of Delirium style, guitars and drums crescendo with sugar-rush vocal melodies, paired with a sting of Gen-Z melancholy and Jana’s heart-on-sleeve, emotionally intelligent songwriting that’s formed such a strong connection with her fans.

Since their debut album Lighthouse was released in March 2024 – named as one The Guardian’s Readers Favourite Albums of the year – Francis of Delirium were proclaimed “Luxembourg’s first Indie Queen” by Uncut, whilst NME lauded the band for “putting Luxembourg on the map”.

Without stopping to catch a breath, Francis of Delirium undertook an extensive EU and UK tour, followed by 11 headline dates in the US and Canada, a huge set at Primavera Sound, and support slots for Alanis Morissette, bôa and Blondshell.

Free Time presents an early DJ set from Sofia Kourtesis at Sneaky Pete’s, 6-10pm

NYC band GIFT are back in Sep! One of our favourite past guests, they return with newfound dance energy on their gothic new record Illuminator, which Anthony Fantano has the hots for. So he should! Their psychey wash is suddenly crisp, direct and fully realised. It’s a special one.

Having assembled on a lark in the Big Apple from roots as diverse as Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Brazil and Boston, GIFT leaned on their collective deep experiences in numerous non-performing aspects of the biz as part of settling on a bold new sound – a dizzying blend of early shoegaze, classic ’90s alternative rock and even modern pop.

Indeed, that GIFT emerged somewhat fully formed on their 2022 debut album Momentary Presence was a testament to the untapped creative potential laying deep within, and it wasn’t long before the band was pricking up the ears of adventurous listeners both at home and across the Atlantic Ocean.

Now, Illuminator, their Aug 23 debut album for revered New York independent label Captured Tracks, is the long-awaited payoff of GIFT’s ever-growing musical and human chemistry. And while nods are apparent to label forerunners such as Beach Fossils, DIIV and Wild Nothing, GIFT are shepherding those elements into wondrous new vessels for the present moment – sleek, often danceable and frequently mesmerizing.

Martha Hill is a Newcastle-based singer-songwriter rooted in the kind of DIY spirit that’s shaped by years of busking and intimate live shows. Known for her raw alt/indie-pop sound and sharp northern storytelling, her more recent music leans into the loose emotional intimacy of indie folk, drawing from the cracked-open vulnerability of Hayley Heynderickx, Big Thief’s organic conversational poetry, and the atmospheric textures of Bon Iver. The result is a quieter, more elemental sound.

Since her first release in 2018, Martha Hill, supported by BBC6music, BBC1, and Spotify, has become a regular presence on the UK independent scene. Her debut album Football Heid, released last year, led to a live session on Cerys Matthews’ Sunday morning show on 6Music and sold-out shows across the UK. Entirely DIY in her approach, Hill continues to carve her own path, pushing back against industry expectations with honesty, independence, and an unmistakably human sound.

Rather than bringing a full band, Martha Hill will be touring alongside collaborator and guitarist Jordie Cooke, their stripped-back sound weaving together fingerpicked guitars, layered harmonies, and songs that feel both deeply personal and slightly otherworldly.

Catch Delirium at their Edinburgh headliner, showcasing their latest single ‘Visible Seam’, alongside a host of brand new, unreleased tracks!

A sought-after collaborator, he has worked with Ian Brown, Paul Weller, Asia, Steve Hogarth of Marillion, and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree, contributing to acclaimed recordings and electrifying live performances.

Rosellas band are known for their atmospheric, guitar-driven sound that blends classic Manchester indie rock

Known for their anthemic guitar-driven melodies, jangly hooks, and psychedelic undertones, Rosellas are ones not to miss.

Raw. Undiluted. Absolutely unapologetic. Soapbox are a band on the precipice.
Formed in Glasgow in 2023, the four-piece have built their reputation the old-
fashioned way: through explosive live shows where anything can happen. Led by
their incendiary frontman Tom Rowan, they confront audiences, call out
uncomfortable truths and spark riotous camaraderie in a way that few bands can.

In other words, they are punk to the very core.

Their sound is as ferocious as their live reputation, drawing from modern punk
stalwarts like Amyl & The Sniffers, SOFT PLAY and Viagra Boys, while nodding to icons like The Damned, The Dirts and Subhumans. Soapbox fuse snarling punk
attitude with their own raw, muscular edge and unmistakable Glaswegian grit.
And they do not muddy their message. Whether they’re taking aim at the
privatisation of public transport, greedy energy companies or fascist thugs, their message is simple. It’s angry, it’s relatable, and it’s effective.

So far, they’ve toured with Meryl Streek, SNAYX, and Kid Kapichi; sold
out the iconic King Tuts twice over, headlined St Lukes as part of TENEMENT
TRAIL, and made their mark at TRNSMT Festival, Pukkelpop and Lowlands Festival.
And with two blistering EPs to their name in ‘HAWD THAT’ (2024) and ‘LOCK IN’
(2025), the four-piece gets heavier, sharper and bolder with each release.

McGarry is a Singer/Songwriter from Bathgate, West Lothian. He started making music at a young age, and started releasing music in 2025. Inspired by the likes of Calum Bowie, Nathan Evans, Pat Hamilton, and Odhran Murphy.

To date, Alice Costelloe has received consistent rotation and glowing endorsements from BBC 6 Music and press adoration from notable tastemakers such as The Guardian, Loud And Quiet, NME, DIY Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, CLASH Magazine, Dork Magazine, The New Cue, The Line of Best Fit and more, giving the project a firm seal of approval.

Gotobeat to be is excited to be bringing Matthew C. Whitaker (HENGE) to Edinburgh on Wednesday 14th October for a headline show at Sneaky Pete’s.

Matthew C. Whitaker is a Manchester-based musician and composer whose solo work unfolds in quiet contrast to his day job fronting cosmic prog-rave outfit HENGE, with whom he has released four acclaimed albums and toured extensively across the UK and Europe.

Where the band trades in high-energy, maximalist spectacle, Whitaker’s solo practice is something else entirely: hushed, patient, and built for close listening.

His latest release, Songs for the Weary (2026), continues this exploration with eight gentle pieces for classical guitar, lush string arrangements, and subtle electronics.

Takuya Nakamura returns to Scotland this October for two early DJ sets at Free Time – Sneaky Pete’s day party series in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Originally from Tokyo, Japan, Nakamura moved to the United States in 1990 to study under the legendary jazz theorist and composer George Russell at the New England Conservatory of Music, later becoming a staple in New York’s vibrant jazz and jungle scene. He has collaborated with an array of legendary artists including Quincy Jones, David Byrne and Arto Lindsay, bringing his distinctive sound to numerous recordings and live performances.

Nakamura continues to push the boundaries of music, with recent projects blending his deep jazz roots with cutting-edge electronic production. His dedication to his craft and his ability to transcend genres make him a true pioneer in contemporary music.

Nothing Speaks is a 4 piece grunge metal band hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland. From massive riffs to crazy guitar solos, they are a force of high octane grunge power that has to be seen to be believed.

Amongst Liars is a Brighton based alternative hard rock band formed in 2021 Leo Burdett (guitar/lead vocals), Ross Towner (bass), Brummeo (synth/keys) and Adam Oarton (drums), combining alternative rock, grunge, metal & punk. A tight powerhouse of a band; urgent, questioning, loud and fierce. Recent gigs and support tours include Ayron Jones, Theory Of A Deadman, Dead Posey & Juliet’s Not Dead to name a few. 2026 rebirths the band with guitarist Leo announced as new lead vocalist.

Across their music, Decrepit Youths channel a raw and uncompromising energy. The six-piece fuse heavy, riff-driven foundations with synth-soaked textures, distortion-drenched soundscapes, and lyrics that cut deep into themes of self-sabotage and oppression. The result is a dark, explosive take on alt-rock that feels both visceral and unrestrained. Formed in the summer of 2023, the band made an immediate impact with their debut single ‘Loose Ends’, which was named Single of the Month by CRACK Magazine and picked up playlisting across two BBC Introducing shows. Their follow-up, ‘Kill The Lights’, pushed their sound further onto the national stage when it was championed by Alyx Holcombe on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show. Fronted by David Stoker and Connor Pattison, the band’s dual vocals drive their boundary-pushing sound, with each member adding their own edge to a collective chemistry that thrives on grit, chaos, and creativity.

Modern Woman, the London art-rock outfit fronted by primary songwriter Sophie Harris, are set to release their anticipated debut album ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ on May 1st 2026 via their new label One Little Independent Records. ‘Johnny’s Dreamworld’ represents the culmination of Modern Woman’s journey from Harris’s early, intimate songwriting project into a full-bodied band capable of folding post-punk, avant-garde, and folk traditions into a live force of dynamic originality. At its heart, the record explores the strange poetry buried within the ordinary. Harris’s lyrics, steeped in literary detail and filmic atmosphere, draw from a fascination with the dark underbelly of the everyday and the contradictions of womanhood.

Emma Stevens’ music breathes life and honesty, pulling a genre apart stich-by-stich and re-assembling it brilliantly to her own specifications, in the process capturing a sound so unique, it’s purity inescapable. After 4 BBC Radio 2 playlists, an iTunes single of the week, and over 40 synchs on TV in the UK, Emma’s profile then exploded in China following her track, A Place Called You being featured on a prime-time TV show watched by over 75 million viewers (the track has since amassed over 700 million streams). Her song “Keep Dreaming” has turned into a viral sensation on TikTok and Instagram, with over 1 million uses. Emma has supported The Feeling, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Wet Wet Wet, Take That, Train, Simply Red, Eagle Eye Cherry and Passenger, and her music has had millions of streams on Spotify and Youtube.

Emma will be bringing her band on the road for this tour, expect ear worms galore!

Birdvox is Sarah Hayes, founding member of Admiral Fallow; Inge Thomson, longtime collaborator of multi-award-winning Karine Polwart; Jenny Sturgeon, SAY Award-nominated solo artist and singer with alt-folk trio Salt House; and Charlotte Printer, who’s performed with Scottish pop icons Altered Images and Loyle Carner-collaborator Joesef.

Singing in Scots, Shetland dialect, old Norn and English, Birdvox distil their individual influences into a unique musical point of view and a joyful live experience – political disco, skewed-folk floor-fillers, avian electronica and hymns to humanity.

They join us this October following the release of debut album Shamming The Drama.

“Perhaps the standout event of the whole festival… exciting and energetic… at the intersection of boundary-pushing art and extremely listenable, melody-based pop” – The Skinny

Due to scheduling conflicts, Mae Stephen’s upcoming tour, due to take place between the 18th of March and the 1st of April will now be moving to the Autumn of 2026. We’re working to make an announcement including the rescheduled dates as quickly as possible. Tickets will remain valid for the new dates.

Toronto four-piece cootie catcher exude both vulnerability and unbridled excitement, creating a sound that hypercharges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and giddy electronics.

Their new album ‘Something We All Got’ is the clearest and most vibrant reading of cootie catcher’s vision yet, with songs of sweetness, nervousness, and expectancy that beam out unguarded.

Infusing brit pop and post punk influences from the likes of Oasis, Courteeners and The Verve, indie rock quartet Skylights are building a palpable buzz in the North. Following on from their debut What You Are.

Leeds-based indie-rock quintet Apollo Junction have supported legends and inspirations Shed Seven, Kaiser Chiefs, Richard Ashcroft, Blossoms, Manic Street Preachers and Doves.

Fresh from releasing their charting album What In The World (Number 6 Record Store Chart, Number 8 Independent Album Chart), Apollo Junction continue to build on their reputation for unforgettable live shows.

“When the first track you hear by a band is a huge anthem, you know they’re something special.” – Chris Hawkins, BBC 6 Music

“Apollo Junction are destined for big things – their anthemic sound and electrifying live shows mark them out as one of the UK’s most exciting new bands.” – Daily Mirror.

Dusky return this November for an early DJ set at Free time – Sneaky Pete’s day party series.

Quiet Light (AKA Riya Mahesh) is a Texas-based producer, singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Her songs are, in her own words, “dream sequences” – her Lynchian, liminal electropop sounds are both frozen in time and built to withstand its weathering, weaving sharp, sparse songwriting with gossamer strands of ambient, electronic, and folk.

Her 2020 self-titled debut EP Quiet Light foregrounded a virtuosic run of independent, self-produced records, including 2023’s Blue Angel Sparkling Silver and Fourth of July, Going Nowhere (2024), and Pure Hearts (2025). Along the way, she’s earned critical acclaim from outlets like The FADER, been co-signed by Iggy Pop, and provided direct support for Cameron Winter, Erika de Casier, Nilufer Yanya, and Chanel Beads on tour.

Now, with her forthcoming mixtape Blue Angel Sparkling Silver 2, her debut release on True Panther (Oklou, Jawnino, Grace Ives), she proves she’s a generational voice that’s here to stay. The tape plays out like a dreamy smash cut of the places, faces, and influences that brought Mahesh here as she delivers her most assured project yet, following her own inner compass to new, revelatory heights. As she puts it: “This record is for people who dream about what their life could be like.”

Emerging from Merced, California, 60juno leads the Central Valley’s post-punk scene with deep, nostalgic melodies – a sound shaped by the mid-2010s Southern California DIY indie-rock scene and the synchronous SoundCloud era of underground rap.

Keg have been experimenting with their sound ever since their conception. Over the 6 years as a band they have garnered attention for their frenetic live performances and unwavering commitment to not settling on one sound. Their new album ‘Relaxing Near the Hospital’ only further cements this ideology. At once tender and vitriolic the album is full of contradiction, each song taking a sojourn into their myriad of influences. From hefty chunks of hardcore, to Steely Dan leaning croonerish tracks the album is reminiscent of Ween in its commitment to an noncommittal sound. What feels new is a level of vulnerability which has often been hinted at in previous releases, but here feels fully established.

The band have released two critically acclaimed EPs ‘Assembly’ (2021) and ‘Girders’ (2022), garnering attention from Loud and Quiet, NME, Dork, So Young and support from BBC radio 6 and Radio X. DIY are real champions of the band, awarding them a slot in their prestigious Class of 2023. Their debut album ‘Fun’s Over’ charted in the top 75 in the overall album charts, 10 in Record store charts and in the top 25 in Independent Album charts, received several 4/5 and 8/10 reviews including “Marks the beginnings of a group aiming for the big leagues” – Sound of Violence

It is the live arena, where KEG is understood best, they’ve earnt their stripes at Greenman (Big Top), Latitude (Sunrise Arena), Sur Le Sac (CH), Sacred Ground (DE), End of The Road (Big Top), Dour Festival (BE), Vida Festival (ES) and built a loyal following of fans across the UK and Europe.

Parviz’s self-titled debut album is slated for 2026, evoking the spirit of Iran’s pre-revolutionary ’70s music scene. Lead single “Azadeh” — a female given name meaning free spirit & independence — nods to the “Woman Life Freedom” movement and the recent mass uprisings in Iran, with the artwork by Rana Fadavi emphasising their urgency. Its follow-up “Sappho’s Fragments” has aired on BBC Radio 6 and totalled more than half a million streams since its release.
Flowery, kaleidoscopic and contemplative, it’s like an old taping of Iran’s beloved music show Rangarang brought back to life — with added DIY aesthetics and a certain indie flair. Fierce psychedelic guitars and flowing detuned synths infuse each track with emotion and nostalgia, resulting in a debut that’s both rooted in Persian culture and distinctly modern.
After a successful UK tour earlier this year that included 5 sold-out shows, Parviz will be back for the second leg of his Khorshid Khanoom Tour, and will play at Sneaky Pete’s on 17th November.

Wiffeney is the brainchild of two best friends: Grammy-nominated drummer and producer Jai D (Jay Z, Tyler The Creator, Haelos) and renowned animator Steph Hope (FX Networks, Haruomi Hosono). The band’s sound is soulful vocals over infectious rhythms, sprawling guitars and gloopy synths, along with their trademark psychedelic visuals.

Ormella heads out on her debut UK tour. The London songwriter makes ethereal indie folk that runs darker than it first lets on: close, narrative songs carried by a deeply emotive voice. It follows her record Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea on Sweat Entertainment — a seven-track study of heartbreak, distance, and the slow resurfacing that follows. “Ethereal folk with real weight” (BBC Introducing); “captivating and devastating in equal measure” (She Makes Music). The first chance to catch the songs live across the UK.

14+ this show is for all persons 14 years and over standing only. Under 18s MUST be accompanied by an adult. Doors 7pm curfew 10pm. IF you have access needs or the price of a ticket is a barrier please contact us. Venue is on the ground floor.

Hailing from the Highland capital Inverness, Malachy Mackintosh, Callum Wilson, Rory Brown, William Scully and Vincent Peteranna make up the promising young indie rock group The Demographic. For fans of The Strokes, DMA’s, and Catfish & the Bottlemen they’ve toured both with youth music project Hit The Road, well-known for helping develop artists such as Lewis Capaldi and Be Charlotte, then again with Off Axis. They headline Sneaky Pete’s in EDINBURGH on Saturday 21 November 2026

The Empty Page are an alternative punk band from Manchester making energetic, anxious songs for our times via shimmering guitar lines, fuzzy riffs and catchy melodies. Rapidly building momentum from each new release (catching attention from Shirley Manson, Courtney Love and Erykah Badu), this hard-working independent band has toured the UK and beyond for a decade, now joining us for their debut this November at Sneaky Pete’s.

“Brash and uncompromising alt-punk for the greyest of skies and the toughest of times” GODISINTHETV

“Immensely powerful.” Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music

“Informed by likes of Bikini Kill or Veruca Salt, early 90s alt rock, [and] recalling Fugazi’s righteous fury.” Clash Magazine

Mildred are a band that happened the way the best things do – slowly, naturally, without any grand design. Four friends in Oakland, California: four singers, four songwriters, four voices with equal say. Singer-guitarists Henry Easton Koehler and Jack Schrott, singer-bassist Matt Palmquist, and drummer and producer Will Fortna started playing music together in a living room before and after dinner, the kitchen and the practice space sharing the same open air.
Nobody appointed a leader.

Nobody drew up a plan. Songs just came.

What makes Mildred genuinely unusual is not just the music – though that is quietly extraordinary – but the people making it. Jack is a PhD student in sub-atomic physics. Will is an environmental lawyer. Matt is an architect who spent a year in a Benedictine monastery. Henry works in affordable housing and helps his dad grow beans. These are not people chasing fame. These are people who found something real together and had the good sense to follow it.
Their debut EP mild earned praise from The Guardian, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, DIY, and Uncut. Their debut album Fenceline, released in 2026, has been called one of the year’s most endearing sleepers — melodic folk-rock with sharp, literary lyrics, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and a warmth that feels lived-in rather than constructed.

Mildred are proof that the best bands don’t always arrive with a bang. Sometimes they just appear, fully formed, from someone’s living room.

Dimitris Loizos brings his debut album tour to Edinburgh for an intimate evening of atmospheric guitar music, storytelling and immersive live performance.

Originally from Athens and based between Greece and London, Dimitris has built a dedicated audience through his blend of expressive guitar playing, atmospheric textures and honest songwriting, drawing inspiration from artists like Pink Floyd, BB King, Peter Green and RY X.

This intimate live performance will feature music from his upcoming debut album alongside audience favourites and selected earlier releases.

Built around guitar, vocals, dynamics and space, the evening is designed as a listening experience. No distractions, no rush. Just music shared in a small room, up close.

Expect an intimate atmosphere, improvisation, stories behind the songs and a night focused on connection and feeling.

Dublin-based 3 piece Bucket seemingly appeared from nowhere with a tape-exclusive debut album in the latter half of 2021, breeding the DIY ethics of garage and punk rock, and soon endowing a reputation for their sweaty live shows. The band’s debut headline saw them sell out The Workman’s Club, soon playing an array of wall-to-wall DIY shows across Ireland.

Soon embracing elements of noise rock, hardcore and industrial to forge a unique and shockingly abrasive sound – Bucket are often referred to as the loudest band in Ireland, a reputation earned by the band’s aim to test the limits of volume and intensity, delivering a punishing live show.

Most recently, the band released the sophomore EP ‘Mosaic’ alongside performances supporting Knocked Loose, and at festivals across Europe and the U.S., including ESNS (NL), New Colossus (NYC, USA), Supersonic Block Party (Paris, FR), and Primavera Pro (Barcelona, ES).

“(Bucket) should come with a warning label.” – Nathan Shepard, BBC 6Music

“The loudest band I’ve seen in 40 years of gig-going. You’ll be hearing more from them, like it or not” – Paul Brannigan, Louder / Metal Hammer

“Thundering and bleak – teeth-grinding bass distortion and relentless power… among the most pummelling and progressive noise-rock acts right now.” – AL Noonan, DIY Magazine

The Rabbitts craft music that blurs the lines between folk, alternative, and atmospheric pop. Known for their delicate harmonies, immersive arrangements, and a sound described as “ethereal and understated” (BBC Radio 6), they create songs that feel both intimate and cinematic. Critics have called their work “hypnotic… crafting a meditative spell” (Obscure Sound) and “intricately lush and completely captivating” (Podcart).

The Norwich-based band began 2026 with an immersive and isolated creative retreat in the mountains. They now have a new album set for release on November 13th 2026. This show is part of their UK album release tour, where songs from the new album will be performed for the first time alongside a few old favourites. This tour follows on from their 2025 tour which sold out multiple shows around the UK, and the release of ‘Orbital Collection’, a series of four EPs the band released over the course of 12 months.

“The Rabbitts approach folk and indie from an almost experimental perspective, drawing from other genres with ease” – Analogue Trash

Downtown Boys have pushed relentlessly forward as an artistic and political project since their founding.

Now, the band has arrived with Public Luxury, an enthralling album that keeps politics front and center while summoning the band’s most urgent and powerful sound to date.
