The band have shared a stage with Ride and Lorelle Meets the Obsolete amongst many other excellent bands.
Healees has been described as ‘21st-century shoegazers amazingly as great as1988-1995’s originals” (the Big Takeover), ‘the best shoegaze band in France’(Paris Popfest), and ‘one of the most interesting bands on the European scene inrecent years‘ (JustAnotherPopSong)!
This will be Healees fifth tour to the UK, each time playing to OSP's adoring crowds in London and we can not wait to have them back again!
“Sheer jangle-gaze brilliance from start to finish.” - Janglepophub

Pills For Tomorrow is an indie pop band with shoegaze and psychedelic overtones, hailing from Grenoble. Their music offers an alternative to painkillers—an invitation into mysticism and transcendent experiences.Formed in 2023, the band features Nathalie Valion (vocals & lyrics), Laurent Gouviaux (guitar & composition), Fabrice Brenchenmacher (guitar & arrangements), Laurent Prost (bass), and Augustin Garnier (drums).In 2024, the band released their debut EP “Catsle Rock.” Six tracks were recorded in April, including a cover of “Shadowplay” as a tribute to Joy Division. Their shoegaze and neo-psychedelic influences (BJM, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Mogwai, Spacemen 3, The Black Angels…) are both clear and deliberate. Guitar riffs and vocals intertwine into swirling layers and immersive soundscapes, driven by a grooving rhythm section. A wall of sound supports delicate, strange, and ethereal voices that reflect an era where the future doesn’t always come without a pill.
Production of a new ten-track album ('The Day They Killed Morpheus') began in 2025 and the album is due for release at the end of 2026. The recording, supported by a crowdfunding campaign, took place in September 2025 in Italy under the direction of Paolo Canaglia (New Candys, Glazyhaze).

Silk is the new project from Virgins guitarist/songwriter, Michael Smyth, with Michael as the sole contributor in Silk, he is responsible for the writing, performing and recording of the music.
The result is a sound defined by swathes of dreamy distortion juxtaposed against beautiful shimmering passages while Michael's vocals are treated as a texture amongst the emotive soundscape. This creates a wall of sound for the listener to bathe in, equal parts heavy as it is floaty and ethereal.

Swirling guitars and cascading drums, combined with a strong stance on cis and non-cis genders and sexualities, have made Cambridge quartet Lemondaze one of the most intriguing and exciting bands to emerge from the U.K. underground.
Thanks to a hushed female vocal layered over a distorted backdrop that has been likened to artists ranging from Deftones to My Bloody Valentine, the band is now exploring a heavier side of shoegaze, introducing elements of post-rock and breakbeat.

The new shoegaze trio scoreboard was formed by members from FOAMMM and Clowder at the end of 2023.
The Oslo trio plays noisy and atmospheric shoegaze with drowned vocals, soul-piercing guitars, and laid-back drumming, stylistically reminiscent of bands like Slowdive, The Megaphonic Thrift and They Are Gutting A Body of Water.
The band’s first two singles, “ropey rampage” and “rush spells”, have both been recommended and played on radio stations in Norway, the UK, and the US. An EP release is around the corner and a full LP on the way soon too.
Norwegian music magazine Gaffa.no hails the group as being at the forefront of Norway’s shoegaze revival, writing about their second single “rush spells”:a soft wall of guitars padded with marshmallows, the ’90s, and electric soundwaves.”
The band have played at many various venues around Norway such as Landmark, John Dee, Revolver and Goldie. In august 2025 they played at Øyafestivalen, one of the biggest music festivals in Norway and later that year headlined in London for Other Side Promotions.

Darko’s Aufhebung (Aix-en-Provence, France) is a shoegaze/alternative trio influenced by grunge, post-rock, and gothic sounds. On stage, they deliver an entrancing wave of sound punctuated by calm, introspective moments — blending psychedelia with emotional depth.Their first album, Spread Whispers Into Blazing Dawns (2022), initiated their exploration of ethereal and haunting atmospheres, revealing their contemplative melancholy. With Loud Attempts for the Relieving of Death, the band fully embraces the “wall of sound” aesthetics of shoegaze, while emphasizing a raw, immersive spontaneity.Strengthened by asymmetric rhythmic structures, the group’s leitmotif is to channel deep emotions — tender, joyful, or painful — guiding the listener through a dreamlike space rich in poetry and reverie, where hope, anxiety, and nostalgia intertwine.

We are Eternity Again, a shoegaze/indie/dreampop band from Prague. This summer we released our debut album Prophecy, celebrating its launch with a release show at MeetFactory. Eternity is a musical brainchild and a personal project of singer/songwriter Barbora Cihak, who—alongside her successes on the Czech scene—has performed with Alex G, supported Orla Gartland, and reached the finals of Radio Wave’s talent competition.
As Eternity Again, we pieced together 13 new sonic mosaics built from countless layers of sound—instrumental lines intertwined with samples of children’s toys, passing cars, sighs, and soft scratches. For Barbora, a strong visual identity is essential, and this record offers an intimate glimpse into her deeply personal predictions, fates and prophecies.
Our goal was to assemble restless, textured sound clusters inspired by pioneers like Cocteau Twins and later Sonic Youth, wrapped in the melancholic haze of Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine.
