LEXX 6 _ Sophia Stefellé.jpg

LEXX whips the finest cross-genre tracks into sets that sweat and reset. Their dance floor is a sexy space where gender gets bent and all beings are held in love. A space where you can dance freely to meet your struggle and release it all. This is for those of you who know there’s more to life.

You can find LEXX on the decks in the UK and beyond, in clubs, festivals, cafés, bars, and conscious dance spaces. Expect the finest house of all flavours, afrobeat and amapiano, reggaeton and latinx tracks, drum n bass, and more.

We know and love LEXX as the creator and master DJ of Bristol’s best queer night: sell-out event @soft_butch_, a night celebrating all butchness, for women, Non Binary and Trans people to dance freely together, that gathers crowds of over 400 people on the regular.

The Golden Guild are an exciting 8-piece reggae band hailing from Bristol and fronted by the talented singer, Guire. With powerful vocals, tight rhythms and heavy bass they are guaranteed to get any crowd moving. The Golden Guild style is a delicious blend of roots and modern reggae originals, with the odd cover thrown in.

Guire is an experienced multi genre artist. His ’livity’ is heavily influenced by his Rastafari faith and this is evident in the music he creates. One love.

We LOVED them last year and we’re so happy they’re coming back to the valley.

Pistol Daisys are making waves in the alt-pop world, blending Glasgow’s vibrant grit with heartfelt authenticity to captivate audiences across Europe.

They’re on the rise, having caught the attention of manager Brendan Moon, famed for guiding artists like Paolo Nutini and The View, and signing with Morsecode. That set the stage for two UK support tours, with Callum Beattie, and Scottish heavyweights Big Country, alongside a host of festival performances.

I love their dramatic 80s-influenced alt-pop sound. It’s a modern day Blondie / Cyndie Lauper, meets The Last Dinner Party. Our family has a lot of love for Scotland, so we’re pumped to have Pistol Daisys playing for us.

Ella May makes the most beautiful “sad girl teenage angsty indie folk”, inspired and influenced primarily by folk artists such as Gillian Welch, Adrianne Lenker (of course), and Benjamin Tod, but also by the storytelling of post-punk artists such as Nick Cave and Bambara.

Her songs are a mix of soft vocals, fingerstyle guitar, and lyrics that feel personal and honest, capturing bittersweet moments of life. Drawing inspiration from indie, Scottish and American folk, and post-punk her music has a storytelling quality that aims to explore both vulnerability and strength, shaped also by a love of poetry.

Her songs explore the messiness of life with a quiet energy that invites listeners to pause and reflect, and she is excited to share her music and continue discovering where this journey takes her, one song at a time.

Hailing from South Wales, The Humber Collective is a group of accomplished and talented musicians that certainly bring the flavour to any evening.

A unique blend of Nu-disco mixed with a healthy amount of dance and funk. Think Jungle, Parcels, Franc Moody, Low Island - that kind of vibe. Où est la discotheque?

A horn section, a Bob Dylan book, and some serious groove. We loved them last year and are so excited to have them back!
