Iris & Steel 

The magnificent Iris & Steel headline Paper Dress Vintage on 25 February 2025.

Iris & Steel are an English indie folk group who blend soulful strings, sophisticated songwriting and rich vocal harmonies to create a timeless and original sound.

The all-female quartet comprises guitarist Lydia Higman, lead vocalist Olivia Poust, cellist George Lloyd-Owen and violinist Athena Hawksley-Walker.

Iris & Steel performed to a packed-out stage at Latitude Festival in July 2023, after being personally invited to perform by George Ezra, who discovered the band on Spotify. They formed part of Ezra’s specially curated line-up for The Alcove - the stage billed by Latitude as discovering the stars of tomorrow.

Musically, Iris & Steel draw their inspiration from the likes of Big Thief, First Aid Kit, Johnny Flynn, The Staves and The Chicks, though the band are much more than a list of influences; their music bears its own distinctive style.

Plus special guests to be announced.
