Pale Waves with The Wombats and Red Rum Club

Pale Waves are a four-piece band from Manchester featuring Heather Baron-Gracie, Ciara Doran and Charlie Wood. Since their 2018 debut My Mind Makes Noises, they’ve embraced their queerness and shifted toward a harder, pop-punk sound on Unwanted.

Red Rum Club is a British alternative rock sextet from Merseyside, formed in 2016. Known for their "Mariachi Merseybeat" sound, blending indie rock with a distinctive trumpet, they deliver energetic, brass-infused music. Popular tracks include "Would You Rather Be Lonely" and "Vibrate". Their 2024 album "Western Approaches" and 2025's "Buck" both hit the UK Top 10. They are celebrated for compelling live shows.
