Dave

U.K. rapper Dave is a spellbinding storyteller, using his lyrics to reflect on both social issues and deeply personal subject matter alike. Acknowledgment early in his career from Drake gave Dave immediate exposure for his 2016 debut EP, Six Paths, and both his profile and artistry grew with subsequent releases, like his 2019 debut studio album Psychodrama and its 2021 follow-up, We're All Alone in This Together, both of which topped the charts in the U.K. He reached number one with subsequent singles "Starlight" (2022) and "Sprinter" (from 2023's Split Decision, with Central Cee). Following these successes, he guested on songs by Burna Boy and Lyrical Lemonade.

Dave (aka Santan Dave) was born David Omoregie in the Brixton area of South London in 1998, later moving to Streatham. Growing up, he was inspired to pursue art in some form. Taking cues from his older brothers, he initially tried his hand at animation before moving on to piano; he finally settled on becoming a fully fledged MC. Unfortunately, his brothers ended up serving lengthy prison sentences. To cope with the drastic alteration in their lives, Dave burrowed even deeper into his music and developed a socially aware form of wordplay that set him apart from his peers.

Slayyyter

From her breakthrough 2019 self-titled mixtape to her 2021 debut Troubled Paradise and 2023’s STARFUCKER, SLAYYYTER proved herself to be one of the great shape-shifters of our time, taking the past, present, and future of pop and twisting it to her will. Early successes — “Daddy AF” went from viral hit making SLAYYYTER’s name online to soundtracking a key scene in the Oscar Best Picture winner Anora — fueled accolades from publications including Billboard, Paper, Variety, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and more, while earning SLAYYYTER opening slots with forebears like Tove Lo and Kesha. But even with all that, SLAYYYTER decided something wasn’t quite right. She decided to become who she was all along, underneath it all: the WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA.

SLAYYYTER’s third album is the most authentically her, while also boasting her most fully realized creative direction yet. She revisited her upbringing in St. Louis, and decided to make “iPod music” — a free-for-all of feral punk, corroded pop, and raunchy rap — conjuring the “Midwest-core tweaker bar rat” characters of her youth. Early singles “BEAT UP CHANEL$,” “CANNIBALISM!,” and “CRANK” steadily built hype for the project over the course of 2025, with fans fervently embracing the raw, swaggering Slayyyter that emerged from the ashes of her past selves. WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA is both revelation and evolution, killing the SLAYYYTER we thought we knew so SLAYYYTER could be born for real.

Gurriers

Described by the Irish Times as “raw as a butcher's cut, and just as fresh”, Gurriers’ raging combination of punk, noise, alt-rock and shoegaze along with singer Dan Hoff’s intense socio-political lyricism, has been championed across specialist radio and press in the UK, Ireland and beyond. Cutting their teeth supporting acts like Enola Gay and Goat Girl, Gurriers have fast established themselves as one of the most furiously exciting bands to come out of Ireland these last few years. The intensely heavy groove of new single 'Des Goblin' erupted into being following a string of critically acclaimed singles the last year, the most recent 'Nausea' dubbed by DIY magazine 'a slice of unforgiving punk' which followed the release of 'Sign Of The Times' and 'Approachable'. The last year has been a riot with a stack of UK and Dutch club shows and a Summer full of festivals across Europe whilst Gurriers have since grown into a mesmerising tour de force on stage. Ahead of their packed shows at The Great Escape in May NME stated “You know something special is afoot when an act continues to sell out shows off the back of only two singles'

Kneecap

Condemned by politicians, beloved by fans, kicked out of their own gigs, and packing festival tents to overflow, Kneecap are a cultural phenomenon.

Crashing into the consciousness with the release of, C.E.A.R.T.A., a track and video inspired by a police chase while protesting for Irish language rights, they’ve proceeded to run rampage across small rooms and massive festivals in Ireland, the UK, and the US, leaving a bemused media and captivated followers in their wake.

Heralded by the New York Times, the LA Times, Dazed, Vice, i-D, the Guardian, and others, Kneecap’s irreverent, complex, and potent lyrics speak to a time of political upheaval, youthful rebellion and discontent, and a renewed urge to party.

Kneecap is a movement, one about upending preconceptions about language and place, and reimagining what rap can be as a creative and cultural force.

Radio Free Alice

With an operatic swagger angular guitar driven sound, Melbourne’s Radio Free Alice emerged with an art school musical palette, painted from a suburban Australian canvas. Immediate and arresting rock arrangements from the 4 piece band meld with frontman Noah Learmonth’s distinctive yearning throaty vocal, harking to the stylings of Ian Curtis and Robert Smith. Guitars with clean tones and clever notes, melodic bass lines, urgent drumbeats, and the occasional sax translate the band’s DIY recordings to an energetic, charismatic live show from the young quartet.

Following 2023 singles “Paris Is Gone” and “Look What You’ve Done”, which have received support from triple j, FBi and 3RRR, the band have opened for Django Django, The Snuts, Sorry and a sold out four week residency at inner Melbourne’s Nighthawk. The band’s captivating live show saw them emerge from Brisbane’s BIGSOUND showcase as one of the breakout artists for the year, as they lead into SXSW Sydney and a run of summer shows around Australia. More music and an EP to come from this exciting new young talent this year.
