This weekend we're heading to Outbreak x All Points East at Victoria Park - one of the most stacked festival line-ups of the year.
Here's the ten acts (in no particular order) we're stoked to be watching.
She's been rightfully described as genre-defying and a 'sonic contradiction' thanks to her vast musical inspiration from Nina Simone to Fugazi, but to us, she's purely one of the most exciting new people in alt music. Since releasing her debut album earlier this year the Aussie singer and friend of TGF has gone from strength to strength, with shows at Coachella, Camp Flog Gnaw, and a tour slot supporting Deftones. If you can't catch her at All Points East, luckily she's playing at Village Underground in just under a month for her own headline tour.
Icons. Legends. Nu-Metal royalty. I don't think we need to say much about why these guys are on our list. The main event is no doubt going to be nothing short of magic. See you in the pit.
Undeniably one of the most badass frontwomen of recent times, Amy Taylor's powerhouse performance on stage is a sight to behold. Inspired by '70s hard rock and hardcore punk, the Melbourne-based four-piece are loud, energetic, fast and an absolute trip.
You’ll find us front row when Mannequin Pussy storm the stage. We’ve been listening to them for a while now and haven’t ever caught them live - we’re so excited to witness their force-of-nature lead singer Missy and hear the band’s dynamic sound live - a megamix of punk, shoe gaze and dreamy indie.
We’re stoked to be catching Reclus.É at the festival, the new project formed by TGF friend Radio 1 DJ Daniel P Carter and Tummyache’s Soren Bryce. Fans of Fugazi, the Stone Roses, The Cure, and Bad Brains will enjoy the band’s slot this weekend.
They’ve already had a busy summer supporting A Perfect Circle at Brixton Academy as well as playing 2000 trees festival, and have a debut album in the works hopefully dropping before the end of the year.
Grungy garage-rock band Tooth formed after bonding over a shared love of 80s and 90 alt-rock before deciding to create their own project, building a name for themselves the past few years playing infamous London haunts, like The Blue Posts and the George Tavern. This year sees them take on Outbreak this weekend, before tackling their biggest headline gig to date at London's The Garage.
The Scouse enigma (once rumoured to be Timothee Chalamet) has risen the rap ranks exponentially in the last year. After releasing one of the most listened to rap albums of 2025, he started this year by taking his ferocious performance-style international, setting off on a tour across Canada, the US and Australia. Back on home turf, he'll be bringing his unique stage presence to Victoria Park this Saturday and we've gotta say we're intruigued to find out what it's all about.
Suffolk alt-rock band Basement are renowned for putting on big-riff-fuelled, high energy shows. Loved for their blend of emo, post-hardcore and 1990s DIY alternative punk, they started off in the UK underground scene before steadily growing and topping major festival bills.
Experiential rapper and former US Air Force veteran JPEGMAFIA (Peggy for short to his fans) champions eclectic, genre-defying rap - merging heavy riffs with blistering bars. His shows have been known to be unpredictable, powerful and always guarantee a solid fit on show from the Baltimore native.
Raucous, emotional, raw, and a riot are just a few of the words we would choose to describe IDLES live performances. The Bristol punks wear their hearts on their sleeves and aren’t strangers to voicing their political opinions when they’re on stage.
