DAN THOMAS & THE HIRED HELP
Dan Thomas is a Singer-Songwriter with an unexpected edge. With a background in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, his music fuses the grit and passion of Punk Rock with the heartfelt storytelling of Folk and Country. Since releasing his debut album, This Is Where You’ll Find Me, in April 2026, Dan has put together his band, The Hired Help, to unleash the full-throated, high octane energy of his music.
SETLA
Setla are a young, exciting four-piece from Hertfordshire, proving that some of the most compelling and promising new rock music is coming from a generation still in its teens. Made up of four 17-year-olds, they are driven by one ambition: to make people feel something again through powerful, guitar-driven music.
Blending the raw energy of grunge with a fresh, modern alternative sound, Setla have quickly built a reputation for explosive live performances and songs that leave a lasting impression. Despite their age, they’ve already headlined major shows at prestigious venues, shared the stage with rising acts including The Molotovs, and anticipate the release of their second single
Setla aren’t just another young band—they’re one of the most exciting emerging rock acts to watch.
CANDIDE
Candide, the legendary progressive punk trio, erupts as a kind of theatrical fever dream: a shambolic yet exacting northern soul dancer, the mighty boosh of rock. Garage-guitar fireworks collide with Baroque-esque melodrama; these are the melodies of a boy band exploding at Chornobyl; a sneering punk tantrum dissolves into a strange, tender confessional.

Each person that purchases a ticket will be given a voting slip upon entry to the venue by the door teller, which will then need to be handed in to cast the audience vote. No replacement will be given for lost voting slips.
There will also be independent judges voting on the acts based on various criteria including, song writing, stage presence and overall performance.
