If you missed these guys here in February now is your chance to catch them as they return to Sunbird Records as part of this years Neotribe 🔴

Volk Soup are a Leeds-based sextet known for their energetic and unpredictable live performances 🔥

Fusing elements of punk, noise, jazz and literary flamboyance, Volk Soup are a band that straddle genre to produce a style of their own. Their debut album, “10p Jazz”, released in October 2025, received glowing press that stressed the bands uncanny ability to find coherence in the chaos 👌

Singer and lyricist Harry Jones tries to paint broad ideas with surreal specificity, preferring to approach personal material that depicts experience through a warped lens 🚀

Volk Soup are a must see live act leaving listeners with little idea as to what will come next and being unpredictability brilliant everytime ❤️

👉 This is the 4th edition of Neotribe and this line up could be our best yet. Get your tickets today and bring your tribe ❤️

Dirty Laces are coming back for a massive night with very special guest John Denton on Saturday 10th October 2026!

🔥 Dirty Laces
Born out of North Manchester, this heavy hitting crew delivers an infectious mix of garage rock freedom, proto punk attitude, and sprawling progressive rock soundscapes. Think the raw energy of The Stooges smashed together with the dynamic depth of Pink Floyd. Sell-out crowds, relentless festival sets, and regular spins on BBC 6 Music prove they are not to be missed.

⚡ John Denton
One of Manchester’s most exciting young songwriters, packing gritty storytelling, a fearless 12-string acoustic attack, and backing from legends like Johnny Marr and Bruce Springsteen. With tens of thousands of streams on his breakout single 'Not The Same' and his debut EP fresh off his new signing with Modern Sky UK, this is your chance to catch him on the rise.
