HOT VOX Presents: Pomona Park

Pomona Park are a Manchester based Indie band, blending youthful optimism and lyrical charm, with energy filled music. Formed in 2021 in Salford Quays, the band emerged from lockdown with a desire to create and connect. Named after the untamed land between Manchester and Salford, this reflected in the raw potential of their music. With singles like Overdrink, Bothered, and Do Not Disturb, they've gained chart success, BBC Introducing features and Radio X X-posure plays. Known for heartfelt lyrics and dynamic gigs, they returned with two tracks in 2025, Lifeline and Do Not Disturb, amongst a string of gigs in Manchester and around the country. Follow them on Instagram for all the latest info.

The Creature Appeal exist on the fringes of the indie landscape; while at one moment you may get driving guitars and anthemic choruses, the next you will get an introspection on self-doubt and the imposter syndrome that comes from navigating life as a 20-something. One foot in adulthood, another in adolescence, the band are nothing if not earnest.

The last year for the band has been nothing short of a whirlwind; from a run of sell-out shows in the capital (culminating in an electric set at Bush Hall), to playing with Live Nation and performing at the prestigious Glastonbury Festival, it's safe to say the rest of 2026 is theirs for the taking.

Soul31 is a Manchester-based pop-funk artist crafting a vibrant sound that's carving out its own space in the UK music scene.

Known for high-impact live shows, he has sold out two nights at the legendary Band on the Wall, performed at BBC Introducing Live Manchester, and earned support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing Manchester.

Creating quiet sounds for loud minds, Matthew Adam Green is a folktronica artist who writes songs for those who long for a more peaceful world. With a wistful Indie Folk sound reminiscent of Ben Howard and Bon Iver, Green blends introspective songwriting with the communally immersive live energy of acts like Noah Kahan and The Lumineers.

With a successful string of collaborations with electronic artists like Tutara Peak, Ourson, St. Mary, and Iaco, Matthew Adam Green is poised for an exciting future. Blending his love for folk and electronic music, he continues to carve out his unique sound.
