Cavetown's Robin Skinner, of Cambridge, England, has become an anchor for a generation of listeners who've found not just solace in his music, but a kind of spiritual room to grow up in. His catalog, spanning lo-fi ditties and indie rock charmers, has amassed billions of streams, earned a 6× Platinum certification, and inspired high-profile features in the New York Times, Rolling Stone and Billboard. His global touring career has taken him from sold-out clubs to massive tours with AJR and Pierce The Veil, as well as festival main stages at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Corona Capital, Primavera Sound, and many more. Along the way, his songs have become comfort objects to his dedicated fans, who have clasped them, cried to them, and grown up alongside them. They've been soft hands offering understanding when the world felt too sharp.

Mari Froes is a Brazilian singer-songwriter whose music flows from the deepest roots of Brazilian Popular Music weaving together rhythm, emotion, and a distinctly contemporary voice. Her artistry is defined by an authentic relationship with Brazilian cultural identity, translated into sound with rare clarity and intention. She began her recording career in 2019 with the singles Moa and Rosa e Laranja, followed by her debut EP Nebulosa in 2020, which surpassed 20 million streams and established her as one of Brazils most compelling emerging voices. Her recent singles Vaitimbora and Figa de Guin marked a turning point in her international reach, charting strongly across multiple territories and earning Platinum certifications in France, Belgium, Portugal, and Switzerland a testament to the universal resonance of her sound. The releases cemented her position not only as a leading voice in contemporary Brazilian music, but as a genuine force in the global market. That momentum translated powerfully to the stage. Across 2025 and 2026, Mari performed more than 80 dates throughout Europe, with the majority of venues selling out an extraordinary achievement for a Brazilian artist at this stage of her international career. The tour confirmed a devoted and rapidly growing fanbase far beyond Brazils borders. Today, Mari commands a fanbase of over 9.5 million across platforms including more than 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 1.4 million followers on Instagram, 2 million on TikTok, and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. In June 2026, she releases her debut album on Sony Music, marking a new chapter in an already remarkable trajectory. That September and October, she takes the stage across the United States and Canada on her first North American tour bringing her music to new audiences in what promises to be the next defining chapter of an exceptional career.

21+ / www.carolspub.comCountry storyteller Laci Kaye Booth has made her name on raw, honest songs that blend the tragic swoon of dream-pop with the lush songcraft that flows out of her home base of Nashville. In 2026, freshly signed to Lost Highway Records, she emerges renewed, grounded in a healthy mindset and career set to bloom like never before --- but it hasn't always been that way. Inspired by her and others' journeys in and out of lover's hell, Laci has poured her many lessons learned into her cinematic third album, Love Ain't For The Faint Of Heart. Produced by Ben West, the LP is a rewarding ride through diverse sounds, harsh reckonings, and serious growth --- a moment of actualization on a rich trip thus far. Laci grew up in smalltown Livingston, TX, about 75 miles north of Houston. Mom bought her first acoustic guitar and though her dad, country artist Jody Booth, wasn't around much, they bonded over a shared love of legends like Merle and Patsy. Following in his footsteps, she moved to Music City and, after 2021's more straightforward self-titled debut, Laci found her footing. The Loneliest Girl In The World, released on Geffen in 2024, was an authentic expansion of her sound that won her sound that won her time on the road with Ella Langley, Parker McCollum, Megan Moroney, Marcus King Band, and more, not to mention her Grand Ole Opry debut. Last year, as the new songs crept into her setlist, Laci felt two things: a sense of catharsis as she let out old ghosts, and certitude that she's in the right place now. This event is 21 and over.

London-born Arlo Parks won the Mercury Music Prize for her debut 2021 album Collapsed in Sunbeams, won Breakthrough Artist at the 2021 Brit Awards, and received two Grammy and Ivor Novello nominations. She was coined the voice of her generation. Her follow up My Soft Machine featured the likes of Phoebe Bridges and saw her continue to tour globally. 2025 saw her become the youngest ever appointed UNICEF Ambassador as she continues her humanitarian work. 2026 sees the release of her much anticipated third album Ambiguous Desire. Referencing everything from the queer hedonism of NYCs Paradise Garage to the moody nocturnal British beats of The Streets and Burial, the glittering synth catharsis of LCD Soundsystem, and rooted house grooves of Theo Parrish, Ambiguous Desire is Parks at her most confident and experimental. A soundtrack to unguarded self-expression, it is a life-affirming new piece of work from one of musics most irrepressible voices.

Tuesday, September 29 Everything Everything: Get To Heaven 10th Anniversary with Psymon Spine $40 Adv. / $45 Day of / $140 VIP / 18+ / Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pm. VIP Package includes: Embroidered Everything Everything hat, Signed Get To Heaven anniversary vinyl, Exclusive signed tour poster, Signed set list, Commemorative VIP laminate & lanyard. No-one quite operates in the realm of the visionary Everything Everything. Setting dystopian 'Black Mirror'-style concepts to songs which thrillingly find the sweet spot between esoteric experimentation and art-pop accessibility, the band have earned critical acclaim and a devoted following in equal measure, leading to five Ivor Novello and two Mercury Prize nominations, a run of six consecutive Top 10 albums, and major headline shows including London's Alexandra Palace. Everything Everything have always explored grand concepts in their albums, as demonstrated by 2022's ahead-of-the-curve 'Raw Data Feel' (which fed everything from 4Chan forum posts to the teachings of Confucius into an AI program, and used its responses as a basis for its lyrics and titles). That continues with the release of their new album Mountainhead. It imagines an alternate society in which those at the lowest rung of society's ladder are forced to work relentlessly to keep its elite, at the mountain's peak, elevated. While it's an idea that looks to a nightmarish future, it's full of engaging metaphors for our current existence, from capitalism and environmentalism to religion and celebrity worship. The music is just as engaging, their art-pop heart coloured by an array of off-kilter production touches and a new-found alt-pop accessibility.

Distinguished british artist and 'original folk voice' Ruth Theodore has been steadily releasing critically acclaimed studio albums for over a decade. Having started her career as a street busker on Englands south coast, Ruth is now signed to Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe records and sharing labels, stages and studios with iconic international artists, as a performer, writer and recently co-producer, making her critically acclaimed music alongside long term collaborators; Tony and Grammy award winning producer and bassist Todd Sickafoose, and Swiss-American virtuoso percussionist Mathias Kunzli. Ruth's music is inspired by lived experience which makes her a folk singer in essense, but there's a strong sense of playful rebellion in her delivery that embodies hints of 1920s vauderville theatre, buckets of indie punk rock attitude and the relentless lyrical energy of a beat poet. A Chicago based singer-songwriter armed with unwaveringly intimate lyrics & acoustically driven melodies, damsel. is a breath of fresh air on the indie folk scene. Taking inspiration from the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, Laura Marling, and Adrianne Lenker, damsel. sings with unflinching honesty about her life and the world that she sees around her. Sgt. Starling is a Chicago-based psych-and-roll and indie rock band.

London-based producer Ryan Lee West, better known under the name Rival Consoles, is notable for making synthesisers sound human and atmospheric. Over the course of a critically acclaimed eighteen-year career, his music has diversified from the challenging electronic output of his early EPs, to gradually becoming more conceptual and metamorphic with his albums.In July 2025 Rival Consoles released his latest studio album Landscape from Memory on Erased Tapes, and is presenting it with a brand new unique performance that will take the form of an immersive audio-visual experience in which he will present material from across the last 15 years of his career and beyond. From deep ambient works to his unique version of techno, and traversing the vast spectrum in between, the show will be a long-form narrative of ideas — many heard live for the first time — with visuals co-created and performed live by David Sydiongco.
