Special Guests:

THE FLAMING LIPS

Formed in Oklahoma City in 1983, The Flaming Lips have become one of the most iconic, influential, and vital forces in American alternative rock. Three Grammy Awards, a Tony nomination, and an RIAA Gold-certified record for Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots. Q Magazine named them one of the “50 Bands to See Before You Die.” After 22 studio recordings and countless collaborative oddities, they remain an American treasure in a genre all to themselves.

ENGLISH TEACHER

The Leeds four-piece — Lily Fontaine, Lewis Whiting, Nicholas Eden, and Douglas Frost — emerged from Leeds Conservatoire in 2018 with a refined sonic identity blending nineties rock with experimental composition. Their debut This Could Be Texas addresses sociopolitical themes and regional identity through Fontaine’s distinctive Lancashire accent. Mercury Prize nominated, with sell-out UK tours and acclaimed US performances.

CATE LE BON

An architect of sound who builds emotional landscapes from abstraction, texture, and tone. Six albums with Mercury Prize recognition, production credits for Wilco, Horsegirl, and St. Vincent. Her seventh album Michelangelo Dying features a collaboration with John Cale — analog warmth, filtered vocals, and sculptural arrangements from one of modern music’s most singular artists.

WARMDUSCHER

Warmduscher refuse to settle. On their electrifying fifth album Too Cold To Hold, the six-piece groove machine fuses punk-funk, disco pogo, gqom, hip-hop, and jazz into a fearless, chaotic sound. Guest appearances from Irvine Welsh, Janet Planet, Jeshi, and Lianne La Havas. Surreal, high-octane storytelling and pulsing rhythms. They’re not just evolving — they’re just getting started.
