FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Across five albums - 2009’s „Lungs”, 2011’s „Ceremonials”, 2015’s „How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful”, 2018’s „High As Hope” and 2022’s „Dance Fever” - Florence Welch, also known as Florence + The Machine, has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple US and UK #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons - The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them - and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic. Last year Florence presented her sixth studio album „Everybody Scream”. The title track was written and produced by Florence Welch over the past two years, with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, Aaron Dessner and Mitski. After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever Tour, Florence’s recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be “healed”. The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane. Experience Florence + The Machine at Orange Main Stage, July 1.

PANDA BEAR & SONIC BOOM
Panda Bear & Sonic Boom met via MySpace 20 years ago after Panda Bear thanked Spacemen 3 in the liner notes of his album „Person Pitch”. In 2016 Sonic Boom left his home in England for Portugal where Panda Bear was already residing. The two have since forged an enduring partnership with Sonic Boom co-producing a spate of Panda Bear releases including 2011’s „Tomboy”, including performing the album live together, and worked closely on 2015’s „Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper”. In 2022 Sonic Boom pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level, resulting in the collaboration of „RESET”, an album of gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks. The duo continues to make music and perform live together as Panda Bear & Sonic Boom and have a new 7" single „Graveyard / Lucky charm” available on Record Store Day on 4/18. Panda Bear & Sonic Boom are playing at Alter Stage, July 3

JEHNNY BETH
Jehnny Beth first came to prominence as the compelling frontwoman of Savages, the Mercury Prize–nominated post-punk band known for its live performances and stark lyricism. Her acclaimed solo debut "To Love Is To Live"(2020) expanded that vision - bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged. In 2022, she returned to the stage with IDLES, toured with Depeche Mode in Europe, and joined Queens of the Stone Age across the U.S. Reuniting in France with longtime creative partner Johnny Hostile - just off tour with Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - she began shaping "You Heartbreaker, You" - a cathartic, radical album born of urgency, joy, and rebellion. With instinctive lyrics, fierce vocals, and Hostile’s uncompromising production, the record channels chaos into sonic liberation. "You Heartbreaker, You" offers a visceral space to scream, breathe, and feel alive in a world teetering on collapse. Don't miss Jehnny Beth on Flow Stage, July 3!

JOY (ANONYMOUS)
Having established themselves by playing impromptu meet-ups on London’s South Bank, Henry Counsell and Louis Curran, the men who make up Joy (Anonymous), have quickly graduated to much bigger venues. Their music revels in the euphoria of being alive and all the feelings, good or bad, that come with it. Their second album „Cult Classics” (2023) follows the beat of a night out, from frenetic, sweaty movement to the gentler winding down as the dawn breaks. At times it is euphoric, celebratory and pure, whirling fun, at others it seeks the joy in the darker emotions that life throws our way. Joy (Anonymous) still remain dedicated to the spirit of spontaneity. They shut a street down with a surprise waterside party in New York and on a trip to Copenhagen, they played an impromptu set in a cafe, which turned into a house party and a night-long good time. Collaborating with The Blessed Madonna and going B2B with Fred Again… at Alexandra Palace has given the duo the opportunity to live out childhood dreams and introduced their infectious live shows to new audiences at huge venues. You have to see them at Open’er! Alter Stage, July 1

JUST MUSTARD
Just Mustard is the Ireland-based band of Katie Ball, David Noonan, Mete Kalyoncuoğlu, Rob Clarke, and Shane Maguire. Across their first two albums - 2018’s „Wednesday” and „Heart Under” (2022) they “rode a wave of noise to the front of the shoegaze pack, breaking from the distorted yearning of the genre’s softer acolytes” (Pitchfork). The band’s new album "WE WERE JUST HERE" is set for release in October 24. While Just Mustard’s signature elements are still intact on the upcoming release - warped guitars, twisted sound design and cavernous low ends - this time, it’s all been channeled into a warmer and more anthemic path. Inspired by club spaces and physical joy, the songs strive for immediacy and feeling. Just Mustard subsequently went on a world tour and were handpicked by Robert Smith to support The Cure, as well as performing with Depeche Mode and Fontaines D.C. Now they're coming to Open'er - Flow Stage, July 3

BASSVICTIM

Ike came up with the band name at said party due to the bass being “too intense.” They released their first single “Canary Wharf Freestyle” in 2023. Their EP-s „Basspunk” and „Basspunk 2” came out respectively in 2024 and 2025. Last year saw the release of their debut album „Forever” and this year they presented their latest EP „?”.

SUPERMODEL*
supermodel* is the brainchild of frankie beanie, a virginia-born, los angeles-based artist and producer, whose music is the culmination of a world of influences: a love of hip-hop, an obsession with the Beastie Boys, and an instinctive feel for raw, playful experimentation. At its core, supermodel* is about instinct, irreverence, and breaking his own rules. “don’t try and be cool. steal everything. don’t overthink. always lowercase,” he says of the project’s ethos. Since his debut, supermodel* has carved out a distinct identity with a run of genre-blurring singles and striking, reference-rich visuals. from the hypnotic, dance-inflected “i used to live in england”, to the warped, confident swagger of “no future,” where beastie boys-inspired production collides with diy visual craft influenced by jamiroquai’s “virtual insanity,” each release has revealed a new facet of his vision. Check him out on Flow Stage, July 2
