The Kooks with Blossoms, The Lathums, and more

Blossoms, a Stockport quintet, combines Brit-pop and indie rock with catchy synth-forward tunes. Known for "Charlemagne" and "Foolish Loving Spaces," they topped U.K. charts and sold out venues. The band collaborated with Rick Astley in 2023.

The Lathums, an indie band from Northern England, blend honesty, hope, and heartbreak in their music. Known for tracks like "Fight On" and "How Beautiful Life Can Be," they’ve drawn comparisons to The Smiths and Arctic Monkeys. Their debut and follow-up albums both hit UK No.1. With Alex Moore on vocals, Scott Concepcion on lead guitar, Ryan Durrans on drums, and Matty Murphy on bass, they captivate audiences at sold-out venues like Glastonbury and Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.

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.
