The Space Lady
Poised to deliver an unforgettable performance on The Boat Stage on Thursday, The Space Lady is a cult icon (and for good reason). Making the journey from another dimension (Colorado to be specific), her inter-galactic synth-pop numbers have been inspiring joy since the 70s. Earnest and uncomplicated in her approach, this loveable one-being outfit will be out of this world.

Angine de Poitrine

Get your polka dots and cardboard boxes at the ready for masked microtonal phenomenon Angine de Poitrine, who will perform Friday afternoon on The Woods Stage. Known for their large/floppy noses and epic psychedelic wigouts, we're told the unstoppable duo must be seen to be believed. Having taken 2026 by storm, we're expecting a massive crowd for these self-defined time travellers and to finally see what all the fuss is about.

OXN

Certain to cast a spell on The Garden Stage, Irish quartet ØXN features some of the heaviest hitters in Dublin's doom-folk scene. Consisting of the inimitable Radie Peat, prince of darkness/producer John 'Spud' Murphy, Lankum drummer Eleanor Myler and mesmerising co-founder Katie Kim, you know you're going to be in for a treat, albeit an unsettling one. Favouring drawn-out pieces that let their unfurling arrangements evolve, we're anticipating a seminal sonic sermon from some of the best to ever do it.

Bo Ningen

With a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands of the last 2 decades, Bo Ningen will emit shockwaves from The Boat Stage on Sunday night. With live performances scarcer than they used to be, you won't want to miss their exhilarating brand of experimental psych-rock as they seesaw between moments of melodic fragility and some utterly relentless riffs. Older, wiser (yet still entirely committed to their craft), Bo Ningen are, and always have been, a force to be reckoned with.

deBasement

Over from the States for festival season, heavy dance duo deBasement are set to bring the party to The Boat in the woods. Fronted by Special Interest's Alli Logout, with fast-rising producer Margo XS on the decks, their feral, hard-edged bangers are an unencumbered expression of queer joy. Arguably not one for the 6 music dads (and let's keep it that way), you'll find us at the front, left speaker ;)

Model/Actriz

Highly respected by their peers (and anyone with excellent taste in music), Boston quartet Model/Actriz' reputation precedes them. Fusing noise-rock and dance music with enviable charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent (iykyk), we're ready to be blown away on Friday. Admittedly late to the party (as this will be our first time seeing them live), we're chomping at the bit for what promises to be a rollercoaster of a set.

Ela Minus

Unable to perform last year (for reasons beyond anyone's control), we've been patiently waiting to dance with Ela Minus. Having released her masterful second album DÍA in 2025, as well as a collaborative new work with Nick León earlier this month, we're thrilled to be able to witness Minus' melancholy electro in the flesh. Describing the record as "an album of ascent, of trying to grasp the darkness to find a way through and strength to keep going", it's sure to be an transcendental collective experience.

Another Country $$$$

Having blown the roof off Round The Twist at Green Man this year, Another Country $$$$ are gearing up for one of their biggest performances yet. Consisting of drummer Oli and producer/ live electronics aficionado Sam, their fast-paced dance music is simultaneously dark and euphoric. Nodding to the classier aspects of happy hardcore with an innovative, modern approach that feels cool and cutting edge, it's difficult not to fall in love with their sprawling, high-energy compositions. If anyone can inject some life into the Big Top on a Sunday lunchtime it's these guys.
