Who's on stage?
Michael Gallagher
Hailing from the seaside town of Hartlepool in the North East of England, Michael Gallagher blends anthemic indie rock with sharply observed lyrics that deliver intimate social commentary. His love affair with his hometown often comes to the forefront of his songwriting, telling stories of love, loss and togetherness.
Drawing influence from a wide range of artists, it is the guitar music boom of the 00s that sits at the heart of Gallagher’s sound. With comparisons to the likes of The Strokes, The Vaccines and Bob Dylan, his releases have already received support from Radio X, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and CLASH.
Michael’s live show has grown significantly in recent years, with performances at major festivals including Glastonbury, Isle of Wight and Truck Festival, alongside sold-out headline dates in Newcastle, Manchester, London, Sunderland and Hartlepool Town Hall.
With plans in place to record his debut album with producer Alex Quinn (Royston Club, Lottery Winners), 2026 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for Michael Gallagher.
Risco
Risco is a dynamic 3-piece rock band from Stockton-on-Tees, blending raw energy with a cinematic twist. With hints of surf rock, mod revival, movie soundtracks, their sound is as bold as it is unique.
The band brings fresh perspectives to the UK indie scene, unapologetically authentic and fiercely individual. Their lyrics speak to being genuine, staying true to yourself, and standing up for what’s right, powerful messages wrapped in snappy guitar riffs, and infectious hooks.
Rooted in a working-class town, their music carries both defiance and hope, championing the voices often left unheard. Risco isn’t just a band, they’re a statement.
Anna Karila
North-east based singer/songwriter, Anna Karila, blends lyrical storytelling and bare-bones finger-picked guitar into an americana tinged landscapes. With her debut release ‘Sweet’, she secured her place in the folk/americana scene, solidified by her spot as a BBC Introducing artist.
