An unmissable quadruple-headliner night, curated by Chris Hawkins (BBC Radio 6 Music) and Sonic Boom Music CIC — connecting two vibrant grassroots scenes and shining a light on four standout artists shaping them.
BODY WATER – Why write about love when you can write about serial killers? Electronic Rock duo BODY WATER are ready to start a REVOLUTION. But be warned...it's not for the faint hearted!
JOEL FOSTER – Indie-pop singer-songwriter from Burton upon Trent with big ambition and an even bigger voice. Heartfelt, powerful, and made for connection — 2025 is set to be his breakout year.
LEAH WILCOX – Gritty, romantic, and impossible to ignore. Leah delivers glittering indie pop-rock with 70s flair and a self-described “countrygaze” twist. Her live set channels love, chaos, choreography and pure charisma.
RUBY J – 19-year-old Midlands artist blending soul, R&B and indie with a knockout vocal style. Tipped by Paloma Faith and compared to Amy Winehouse and Tina Turner, she’s shared stages with Jamie Webster, Becky Hill and Scouting for Girls.
