Splendour in Nottingham with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Dylan, and more

Confidence Man, an electrifying dance-pop group from Australia, has captivated global audiences with their vibrant performances at top festivals like Glastonbury and Primavera Sound; their music, reminiscent of Donna Summer and Dee-lite, fuels pure dance floor joy.

Formed in Oldham, Inspiral Carpets emerged in the late-'80s/early-'90s Madchester scene with psychedelic, organ-driven rock. Their hit "This Is How It Feels" hit the UK Top 20, and they toured with Noel Gallagher as a roadie. Known for clever merchandising and collaborations with Mark E. Smith and John Cooper Clarke, their albums like "Life" and "Devil Hopping" made them notable in the indie scene. After disbanding in 1995, they reformed for sold-out tours and released new music, ultimately pausing activities after drummer Craig Gill's death in 2016.

Sam Ryder, famed for his TikTok success and hit single "Space Man," achieved a #1 album, #2 single, and billions of streams. A BRIT nominee, he's known for his 'Frontier Soul' style and collaborations in Nashville, highlighting his decade-long roots in Music City.

The Kooks, known for their well-crafted pop, underwent a band “renovation,” returning to the energetic spirit of their debut. For their seventh album, "Never Know," they embraced experimentation and fun, recapturing their essence and swagger.
