10.30 pm
The Luddites are a fiercely unique four-piece band tearing through the noise with the in-your-face attitude of punk, the lyrical depth of indie, the undeniable groove of funk, and the raw, beating heart of soul. Unapologetic and unforgettable, they’re not here to fit in—they’re here to make you feel.

Superlative sonic stylists The Yons are the hardy perennials of Nottingham’s rock garden. Since first bedding down in the late 80s, where other local groups first flowered and then withered The Yons are still growing strong and blossoming. The current band membership reunites their storied 1991-92 line-up, so expect a few throwback classics as well as material from forthcoming album WATCH & CLOCK.

Content Provider are an alt-rock 3-piece from Nottingham formed by strangers during lockdown. While the genre changes from song-to-song, they all feature catchy hooks, abstract lyricism, and brain melting bass creating a sound completely unique to them.
Following a number of successful singles and EPs, including radio play via BBC Introducing, they complied these releases into the album 'Exposure Complete', which released in November 2024.
They have become a regular sight on the Nottingham music scene playing venues such as Bodega and Rough Trade, as well as gigs in London. They have also put on shows with Scruff of the Neck and Hot Vox.
