Star the acts you want now. When set times drop, your schedule is already built.
London production duo working in stacked falsetto and clipped disco guitar, with videos built around single-take dance routines.
Electronic
Los Angeles songwriter with a near-whispered delivery and a gift for the devastating small detail, also a third of boygenius.
Indie rockIndie folk
Amsterdam band reworking Turkish folk songs as fuzzed-out psychedelia, with electric saz and vintage keys riding grooving, funk-heavy basslines.
Alternative
Masked Saguenay duo who loop double-necked microtonal guitar into hypnotic, odd-metred math rock, 2026's strangest breakout story.
Math rockExperimentalProg-rock
Lili Trifilio's bright, fast guitar-pop about being twenty and miserable, though the songs are far sharper than that sounds, with 'Prom Queen' still a viral touchstone.
Indie popPop punk
Bente
Dutch DJ and producer out of Groningen's club scene, playing fast sets that swing between trance, hard house and high-tension euphoria.
TranceHard house
Jack Antonoff's sax-blasting Jersey heart: every set a Springsteen homage with confetti, played by pop's busiest producer like it's the only band that matters.
Pop-rock
Simon Green's long-running project, threading found samples, strings and live percussion through downtempo and house. Played live with a full band, the records open into slow-building dance music.
Electronic
Brooklyn band led by Zachary Cole Smith, playing shoegaze in long, chiming guitar washes. 'Frog in Boiling Water' (2024) pushed the haze toward heavier, darker ground.
ShoegazeDream pop
New York electronic duo making IDM-inspired collage pop, all buzzing bass, clipped blips and icy, close-miked vocals.
Electronic
Leeds art-rock that won the Mercury Prize with its debut, with wry, literate songs that change shape mid-verse.
Alternative
Florida indie rock built for festival fields, with 'August' euphoria, surging choruses, and a live energy that outruns the recordings.
Indie rock
Gangsta rap's most technically devastating voice, with cold-blooded bars over soul loops and 'Alfredo' and 'Bandana' as modern-classic proof.
Hip-hop
Sibling NYC hyperpop chaos agents, glitchy, funny, and relentless, with a live set that plays like a timeline scrolled at maximum speed.
HyperpopElectro
Dublin's next post-punk export, snarling and kinetic, riding the same wave that carried Fontaines out of the city.
Post-punk
IJSLAND
Hip-hop
Hessle-adjacent producer whose records sit precisely between garage, house, and something harder to name, from 'Hyph Mngo' to now, always slightly ahead.
UK-bassHouse
Memphis songwriter who builds from spare guitar to cathartic crescendos, writing about faith, addiction and recovery with blunt candour.
Indie rockSinger-songwriter
Melbourne's restless psych collective, five albums a year at their peak, swerving from microtonal garage rock to thrash to synth jams and rarely playing the same set twice.
Alternative
Veteran soul singer who started out in the late 1960s, once nicknamed 'Little JB' for his James Brown-style delivery. Deep, pleading ballads over a tight retro band.
R&B/soul
Milolaathetlukken
Amsterdam rapper whose Dutch-language wordplay comes dressed in high-fashion looks.
Hip-hop
Viral dark art-pop with spoken-word menace over strings, Gen Z's gothic conscience with a scalpel for a pen.
Dark art-pop
Joachim Liebens' project, wrapping lonely, melancholic songs in hazy synths and washed-out guitars, first heard at length on the debut 'Dawn of the Freak'.
Alternative
Bay Area hyperpop auteur, glitchy, hooky and scene-defining, with 'Wallsocket' worldbuilding included and internet-native songwriting at its sharpest.
HyperpopAlt
Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston's indie trio make bright, restless guitar pop that graduated from bedroom demos to Madison Square Garden.
Indie rockAlt-pop
Amsterdam DJ and producer with a crate-digger's ear for Balearic and leftfield disco, and one third of ambient trio Gaussian Curve with Gigi Masin and Jonny Nash.
@
American duo assembled in 2020 from homemade acoustic recordings, filed under a name that refuses to survive a search engine.
Indie folk
Leeds lads making hardware-driven post-punk bangers about mundane dread, with deadpan vocals over squelching synths, pitched somewhere between a big night out and an existential crisis.
Alternative
Los Angeles duo Justine Dorsey and Graham Epstein, making dreamy, Y2K-tinted trip-pop out of breezy synths and hushed vocals.
Indie popDream pop
Annabelle Dinda
Philadelphia singer-songwriter moving between guitar and piano, with songs that keep the close, homemade intimacy of bedroom pop.
Alternative folk
Checkpoint
Fauna
Chicago's chamber-punk romantics: big feelings, bigger crescendos, and a debut that made half the indie press swoon.
Indie rock
Geordie Kieffer
Pop
Burlington's cracked-country rocker, with road-worn songs that lurch and soar, scuffed-up guitar poetry in the Lenderman school.
Indie rock
Kaat van Stralen
Singer/songwriter
MAHA
mercury
Nashville indie rock band fronted by Maddie Kerr on vocals and 12-string guitar, with a cellist in the lineup and songs about overthinking and introversion.
Alternative
PISS
Punk
Sprawling Michigan collective making horn-swelling, patient indie rock that earned an instant cult, with chamber-band arrangements and real payoff.
Indie rockCollective
Bogotá outfit led by drummer Pedro Ojeda, pushing cumbia and other Colombian rhythms through warped synths and dubby studio trickery.
Latin
Minneapolis shoegaze-pop with a devoted early cult: gauzy vocals over slow-blooming walls of guitar, patience rewarded in full.
ShoegazeIndie
Super Jet Kinoko
Electronic
Gareth Liddiard's band of ragged, furious punk blues, with long songs about Australian violence and history delivered in a cracked howl over guitars that threaten to fall apart.
Alternative
Theatre
Indie rock
Truman Sinclair
Los Angeles songwriter and producer, formerly of the farwest emo band Frat Mouse, whose homemade debut album is American Recordings.
EmoFolk
TTSSFU
Manchester songwriter Tasmin Stephens's project, setting hushed, half-buried vocals inside fuzzed-out guitars that lean toward shoegaze and grunge.
Alternative
New Orleans duo playing lo-fi country punk on drum machines, twangy guitar, console steel and a low baritone, signed to Sub Pop.
Punk
Puerto Rican rapper with a rapid-fire, technically dense flow, whose 2022 Bizarrap session carried her bars well beyond the island's underground.
Latin rap
