DAY WE RAN

Fresh off supporting the Kooks on their UK arena tour and Sam Fender in Australia, Day We Ran bring their unique brand of atmospheric alternative rock back to the UK in 2026. Touring their Debut EP ‘Naked At Your Door’, the band will feature this summer at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands in America as well as Reading and Leeds Festival and Rock’n Roll Circus in the UK.

STILL BLANK

Still Blank's sound was born from unlikely roots. Jordy grew up immersed in the natural rhythms of island life in Hawaii, gigging at weddings and fundraisers by her early teens while drawing inspiration from Hawaiian traditions and the deep solitude of Kaua’i. Ben, raised on Manchester’s rich musical legacy and early pub gigs with his dad’s band, developed a taste for ambient textures, citing The Durutti Column as formative influences. Their unlikely meeting in the UK sparked a lightning-in-a-bottle creative partnership. What started as casual jam sessions in a Liverpool basement quickly evolved, with sessions ranging from stripped-back recordings on a broken classical guitar to studio lock-ins fueled by long walks through rural Wales and a shared commitment to imperfection. With lyrics steeped in people-watching, dreams, nature, and existential observation, Still Blank’s songwriting draws from both introspection and their surroundings, echoing the mood of artists like Yo La Tengo, Big Thief, and Cat Power.
