SPARKLING Are Back – Live on Tour in November 2025!

German, English and French, sweat-drenched live shows,

and a sound that refuses to let you stand still:

SPARKLING return to the stage with their electrifying mix

of indie, post-punk and club vibes!

Since their critically acclaimed multilingual, post-punk

debut I Want To See Everything with widespread support

across BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music airwaves, festival

appearances at SXSW (US) or The Great Escape (UK) and

support shows for Metronomy and Noel Gallagher’s High

Flying Birds, the Cologne-based trio has made a name for

themselves all across Europe.

With their 2022 EP This Is My Life / Das Ist Mein Leben /

C&#39;est Ma Vie, produced by Al Doyle (LCD Soundsystem) and

Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), and their second album We Are

Here To Make You Feel released in 2023 via Moshi Moshi

Records (UK), SPARKLING’s remarkable progression

continued, seeing the band giddily moving further towards

the center of the dancefloor.

Now, SPARKLING are picking up the pace once again: With

their brand-new single &quot;Keep Running&quot; (feat. Digitalism)

and more new music on the horizon, the band hits the road

across Europe again in November 2025.

***Slow Life*** - band from Wrexham via London. Steeped in 90s influences, the bands debut single ‘Too busy (trying to find it easy)’ showed lyrical flair and mature songwriting, while Taranau Haf is a journey through welsh language psychedelia. All three Slow Life singles cross genre but remain rooted in an unmistakeable sound.

***Donquix Hotel -*** Donquix Hotel are a London based 4-piece encapsulating the sound of 'Desert Disco' - bringing together influences from Soul, Funk, Indie and Disco.

***Your French Girlfriend -*** Derry/Romford songwriting partnership brought to life with a band. Comparisons ranging from Belle and Sebastian to Eurhythmics, but that doesn't matter as long as you're picking up what we're putting down.

***Artists:*** We are always interested in hearing from talented artists. If you’d like to play at our future events, please get in touch.

***Note: 18+ ID required.*** These events frequently sell out so we recommend buying tickets in advance.

**🖤 TISS VAMPIRIC: Songs of Paris Tour ❤️**

**with DRIFT. | Inner City Holdings | La Zapette**

**💀⛓ 🕯️A Celebration of Avant-Garde Seduction**

**Tiss Vampiric**

Returns to the stage to unveil their haunting new EP Songs of Paris, performed in full for the first time — along with exclusive unreleased material. Expect Avant-Garde Gothic Cabaret at its most intoxicating: the perfume of candle smoke, the poetry of the strange and the sublime.

**DRIFT.**

Born in the smoke of a dying decade, DRIFT. channels the raw pulse of ’70s Berlin — part gutter, part cathedral. Guitars snarl like alley dogs; synths shimmer like broken glass beneath neon light. This is music for beautiful decay — for lovers who disappear before dawn.

**Inner City Holdings (ICH)**

Enter the mechanical dream. ICH conjures an industrial soundscape that pulses like a dystopian metropolis — a place of surveillance, control, and resistance. Their live performance is part ritual, part rebellion.

**La Zapette**

A pianist, vocalist, and enchantress — La Zapette embodies the romantic. Think gothic elegance meets punk defiance, laced with jazz, nostalgia, and ethereal grit.

**🎟️ Tickets are limited — intimacy guaranteed.**

**💀⛓ 🕯️A Celebration of Gothic Scorcery, Avant-Garde Seduction and Beautiful Chaos**

**Crush of Souls**

Straight from Paris — Crush of Souls delivers a full-force industrial synth assault, fusing synthesised elegance with Cramps-style depravity. Fronted by Charles Rowell (Crocodiles), the band embodies the perfect tension between sleaze and sophistication, neon and decay.

**Petrichor & Lara g.g - Performance Art**

An immersive performance art piece where movement, sound, and space collide. Lara and Rachael unravel hidden stories through visceral, dreamlike expression — a living poem of tension, tenderness, and transformation.

**Francis Pig**

Art punk for the restless. Francis Pig blends avant-garde sensibilities with raw, driving anti-passive rock & roll.

As Punks in Focus declares: “Their sound echoes The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, and The Cramps — raw, energetic, and utterly alive.”

**Jolt**

Margate’s own Joanna Curwood conjures a dark, hypnotic storm — metallic gnarl, fuzz-drenched guitars, and brooding, magnetic vocals. Think Kim Gordon meets PJ Harvey on a midnight sea of distortion and desire.

Eat Your Own Ears presents Pitou at The Waiting Room.

"Amsterdam-born artist Pitou has one of the most arresting voices to emerge from this year, drawing comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and Julia Holter, crafting intelligent folk-pop that balances the darkness and light of human emotion." - The Independent

Dutch songwriter and composer Pitou has unveiled new single “Too Good To Go”, a wonderfully scattershot song brimming with mania, mischief and cacophony – somewhere in the vein of Björk, Meredith Monk, Jockstrap, and (especially rhythmically) Orchestra Baobab.
