  Scissor Sisters

  After more than a decade away, Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis reunited in 2025, reigniting that unmistakable spark with a sold-out UK arena tour, a legendary Saturday night Glastonbury set, and a co-headline U.S. tour with Kesha.

  Now heading into Summer 2026, Scissor Sisters remain an unstoppable force of chaos, glam, grit and queer joy — still boundary-breaking, still beloved, and forever Filthy/Gorgeous.

  Good Neighbours

  A band born out of small towns and spare time. Scott and Oli have neighbouring studios at their building in East London and first began making music for the project together out of the desire to make something positive and unpolished in a scene where most music felt quite mellow and intimate. Throughout 2023, they consistently began making music for the love of making music, and only midway through the year decided to create the band to release under. With an urge to rekindle the early 2000s scene of Passion Pit / MGMT etc, Good Neighbours nod to classic songwriting and raucous production, inspired by A24, friendship, and a cinematic approach to music.

  Hot 8 Brass Band

  Hot 8 Brass Band are a Grammy-nominated New Orleans based brass band, whose sound draws on the traditional jazz heritage of New Orleans, alongside more modern styles including elements of funk, hip hop,rap, and its local variation, “bounce.”

  Transcending genres and trends, Hot 8 have performed and collaborated with artists from Lauryn Hill, Alice Russell, Mos Def to the Blind Boys of Alabama and George Ezra and have decade long affiliations with actor/BBC 6Music DJ Craig Charles, among others. They were nominatedfor a Grammy in2013for their second album ‘The Life and Times Of…’. and, with acclaimed releases such as ‘Vicennial...’, ‘On The Spot’ and “Take Cover”, continue to exemplify their ability to honour their city’s musical traditions while forging their own powerful legacy. Hot 8’s incredible tale, which comes across in their life-affirming music, has also previously featured in Spike Lee’s two New Orleans documentaries, When The Levees Broke and The Creek Don’t Rise,and David Simon’s HBO series Treme (in which the band played themselves), to add to extensive features across the world’s media.

  Mixing an old school street brass approach with funkier currents and hip hop vocals, Hot 8’s magnificent originals are juxtaposed with fresh versions of Snoop Dogg, Stevie Wonder,The Specials, Basement Jaxx and of course their anthemic take on Marvin Gaye’s “Sexual Healing”.

  Hot 8 Brass Band’s rhythms are loose-limbed and hard-hitting, with most tracks featuring a sousaphone prominently. The legendary group have established themselves as a dominant force on New Orleans streets—the band you want to dance behind during a Sundaysecond-line parade or witness jazz funeral.

  Brass band-related activities have been a vital part of New Orleans’ African American community life for over a century, serving as an important source of celebration, bonding, strength, pride, and both individualand collective expression. Jazz funerals are among the most curious and well-known New Orleans brass band customs. As an exercise of the belief in “rejoicing at death,” the jazz funeral juxtaposes grief and joy. Slow, sad hymns and dirges are played en route to the cemetery, followed by up-tempo songs and joyous second line dancing in a final procession away fromthe grave.

  The city’s traditional obsession with music, parades, dancing, and the rise of black benevolent organizations, has helped to maintain and support brass band activities and culture. Dozens of bene
