Nature Kids

Nature Kids are a rock band from Leeds, UK.

The debut album, self-titled Nature Kids - was released independently in April 2025. Critics identified sonic and creative influence from artists such as Neil Young, Alex G, Cate Le Bon and Elliott Smith.

Their Ernest and introspective songwriting paired with their engaging live shows - which are characterised by a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere, have both contributed to their growing fan base.

Rory (songwriter) has a background in visual arts and designs the band's merchandise and art work which tie into the musical themes of the band.

The 5-piece have gained recognition through performances at notable festivals, including Green Man, Deer Shed, Twisterella and Stockton Calling, and have recently shared stages with Brown Horse, Nap Eyes, Pys Melyn, Langkamer and Personal Trainer.

The Slow Country

Firmly rooted in the Manchester and London scenes, The Slow Country specialise in the sort of raw, esoteric sideways-pop that graced many a Peel session. Expansive in both sound and personality, slacker folk is folded into widescreen rock and pulped with the alternative sensibilities of all those sonic outliers that thrived on the wing-and-a-f*cking-prayer excitement of independent music.

Maggie MacLellan

Get down early to welcome Maggie MacLellan who plays her first gig with her band (made from a bunch of awesome York musicians). Piano-led alt-rockin' with gorgeous melodies to be expected from the tiny bit we've heard!
