Formed in 2021\, the project explores the meeting point between psych edelic rock\, analogue electronics\, distorted bass and the relentless for ward motion associated with bands such as Neu! and Can. Their debut album AURA appeared in 2023\, followed by further recordings and an expanding in ternational profile. The band’s music often develops gradually rather th an following conventional verse-and-chorus structures\, creating immersive \, trance-like performances. Their 2026 album Ígnea coincided with extens ive European and UK touring\, bringing their industrial-psych sound to new audiences. The Thingumajigs // Family gig Salford’s The Thingumajigs de liver family friendly performances that are as popular with the kids as th ey are their parents. They are a colourful\, brass-heavy good-time band wh ose entire philosophy revolves around getting an audience involved. Their wonderfully eccentric mixture of vaudeville\, cabaret\, ska\, pop and part y music features bass\, ukulele\, saxophones\, trombone\, drums\, percussi on and plenty of group vocals. Humour is central to everything they do\, b ut behind the silliness is a seriously accomplished live band built for si nging\, dancing and audience participation. James Lyons James Lyons is a w onderfully unconventional multi-instrumental performer whose shows combine flute playing\, freestyle rap and beatboxing into something that sits som ewhere between musicianship\, improvisation and spontaneous comedy. A regu lar festival performer\, Lyons uses his voice and instruments rhythmically as well as melodically\, building performances around interaction with th e audience and the energy of the moment rather than a rigid set list. His unusual combination of beatbox techniques and flute makes him immediately distinctive\, while his freestyle skills mean performances can change dram atically from one appearance to the next. He has also worked in community and participatory music\, bringing his highly accessible approach to audie nces of all ages. Blanty Lancashire-born singer\, guitarist and travelling musician Blanty has spent much of his musical life taking songs from plac e to place. Originally from Rossendale\, he set off travelling with his gu itar around two decades ago\, developing a free-ranging approach shaped by the people\, cultures and venues encountered along the way. His recorded work includes tracks such as “Zoomalango”\, “Ootsba” and “Musica Sin Fronteras” – a title that translates appropriately as “music wi thout borders”. Equally comfortable at festivals\, pubs\, parties and in formal gatherings\, Blanty embodies the tradition of the wandering musicia n: acoustic\, adaptable and interested in using music as a means of connec ting with an audience. Soul of the North Soul of the North bring the sound and excitement of a classic Northern Soul dancefloor to the stage with a fully live nine-piece band. Featuring male and female lead vocals alongsid e a dedicated horn section\, the group recreate the records that became st aples of all-nighters across the North of England. Their repertoire includ es classics associated with Frank Wilson\, Dobie Gray\, Gloria Jones\, Al Wilson\, R. Dean Taylor\, Judy Street and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons . Rather than simply reproducing the records\, Soul of the North aim to ca pture the communal energy surrounding Northern Soul itself: driving rhythm s\, soaring vocals and songs built to keep dancers moving. Stompin’ Thom pson Stompin’ Thompson is the performing alter ego of Keith Thompson\, a North-West musician specialising in energetic rhythm and blues. Described as a solo R&B powerhouse\, his sets draw on decades of blues\, rock ’n ’ roll and roots music\, using strong rhythms and a direct performance s tyle to create considerably more noise than might be expected from a solo act. Thompson is a familiar performer around Lancashire and Cumbria\, appe aring at pubs\, festivals and live-music events where his repertoire is ge ared towards getting an audience moving. The “Stompin’” name is well earned: this is earthy\, accessible live music with its feet firmly plant ed in blues and rock ’n’ roll tradition. DJ Andy Stodden / Andy Stoddo n Lancaster DJ and producer Andy Stoddon has been involved with electronic music since the formative days of the UK rave and house explosion. As par t of Analysis DJs he was making music in Lancaster during the early 1990s \, working with drum machines and synthesisers while absorbing the sounds coming through the region’s clubs. His subsequent musical life has encom passed house\, Balearic sounds and more exploratory electronic selections \, alongside production and engineering work connected to the North-West b reakbeat scene. Still an enthusiastic DJ and dedicated gig-goer\, Stoddon remains active around Lancaster\, appearing at events including Balearic B urger\, Chugg and Lancaster Music Festival and continuing to dig beyond ob vious dancefloor choices. Maz and the Phantasms Glasgow’s Maz and the Ph antasms are a gloriously unruly psychedelic surf-punk band formed around C atalan-Egyptian artist Maz. Their music throws surf guitar\, funky bass\, psychedelic rock\, synthesizers\, spaghetti-western drama and punk attitud e into the same overflowing pot. Emerging from Glasgow’s dive bars\, DIY parties and queer underground scene\, the group developed its reputation through sweaty\, theatrical performances and extensive independent touring . Their self-titled 2025 release captured that mixture of beach-goth atmos phere\, danceable grooves and controlled chaos. Equal parts rock band and travelling party\, Maz and the Phantasms approach live music with colour\, humour and absolutely no interest in minimalism. The Manfredis The Manfre dis are long-standing favourites of Lancaster’s live-music scene and the house band associated with The Melodrome. Their speciality is an unusual and highly danceable mixture of rocksteady alongside imaginatively chosen rock and pop covers. Rather than approaching familiar songs as straightfor ward reproductions\, the band filter material through their own loose\, ce lebratory live style. Over the years The Manfredis have become fixtures at local festivals\, community celebrations\, Melodrome events and Lancaster ’s major outdoor gatherings. Above all\, The Manfredis are a party band: warm\, eccentric and built for dancing. Acme Bass Lancaster’s Acme Bass Company are DJs\, promoters and enthusiastic instigators of parties who h ave played an important role in the city’s electronic-music culture. The ir events range freely across drum & bass\, breaks\, house\, funk and othe r corners of dance music\, with Acme Bass regularly combining established headline artists with local selectors. Their rotating crew of DJs keeps th e emphasis firmly on the dancefloor. As one local promoter puts it\, there is barely “a nook or a cranny” in the area where they haven’t throw n a party. Harpmonix Harpmonix is a live-looping solo project that places the Celtic harp somewhere it is rarely heard: at the centre of contemporar y electronic dance music. Started in 2024\, the project combines Celtic ha rp\, electric guitar\, finger drumming\, samples and looping technology to bridge traditional Irish music with drum & bass\, dub\, house and a devel oping style its creator calls “harp-tek”. Rather than placing electron ic beats underneath conventional folk tunes\, Harpmonix uses live instrume ntation to explore genuinely new rhythmic and sonic possibilities for the harp. The project has rapidly begun appearing on adventurous festival line -ups\, offering an inventive meeting point between traditional musicianshi p\, improvisation and modern soundsystem culture. Dobbeltgjenger Bergen-ba sed Dobbeltgjenger make colourful\, groove-heavy alternative rock that mov es freely between indie\, funk\, psychedelic pop and danceable art-rock. T he Norwegian group have built a reputation for refusing to stay comfortabl y inside one genre. Their music combines angular guitar riffs\, muscular b asslines\, energetic drums\, falsetto vocals and an almost disco-like sens e of movement. Albums including The Twins \, Master of Failure and Smooth Failing demonstrate a band equally interested in catchy hooks and strange sonic detours. Live\, that combination becomes a colourful\, high-energy r ock ’n’ roll party. Flat Moon Flat Moon are a six-piece UK collective crashing together funk\, punk and psychedelic weirdness into what they des cribe as high-energy\, groove-centred music. Formed in 2019\, the band mov e between tightly locked funk and explosive riffs. Their songs explore esc apism and identity through a neurodivergent perspective while deliberately prioritising fun\, community and unpredictability. The result is music th at can be complex without becoming po-faced. Flat Moon have built their re putation through exhilarating live shows where genre boundaries rapidly di sappear and audiences are invited into the band’s strange\, welcoming an d extremely danceable world. She Drew The Gun - DJ SET She Drew The Gun is the psych-pop project led by Wirral-born songwriter Louisa Roach. Beginni ng as a solo vehicle before developing into a full band\, the project comb ines dreamy psychedelia and alternative rock with unusually direct\, socia lly conscious lyric writing. Roach attracted the attention of The Coral’ s James Skelly\, who produced the early albums\, and the band went on to w in Glastonbury’s Emerging Talent Competition in 2016. Releases including Memories of Another Future \, Revolution of Mind \, Behave Myself and How l have established She Drew The Gun as one of the North-West’s most dist inctive alternative acts\, balancing hypnotic melodies with punk spirit\, political commentary and outsider solidarity. Grimesy Lancaster producer a nd DJ Grimesy is a familiar figure in the city’s drum n bass-music commu nity\, he combines DJing with production and has become a regular presence at Kanteena and other local events. His sets are rooted in breakbeats\, s ub-bass and the energetic lineage of UK jungle\, while appearances alongsi de artists such as Conrad Subs demonstrate his connection to the wider con temporary D&B scene. Grimesy has also hosted his own “Grimesy & Friends ” events\, bringing together DJs and collaborators from around the regio n. Whether playing solo or back-to-back\, his focus is straightforward: ra pid breaks\, heavyweight bass and dancefloor momentum.\n\nBoletos: https:/ /www.fatsoma.com/e/6wfdfog8/lancaster-music-festival-saturday URL;VALUE=URI:https://360exp.net/events/78b2c83e-4c94-42c5-88f7-175e1a88ecf b STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
