Line Up
The Rackets are a four-piece rock band from London, whose music blends elements of
surf rock, alternative, and indie. The band – Paddy, Tom, Liam, and Darragh – started
out playing gigs across the London circuit and began recording in 2022.
Their debut EP ,‘Some Things Never Change’, was released in January 2026 and
captures the best of the band’s early years, combining the energy of their live sound
with orchestral arrangements laid down in the studio and was highly acclaimed on BBC Introducing London.
Following the release of this project, they take their live show on tour across the UK
and Ireland. This has included headline shows in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast & Dublin as well further gigs and festival appearances across the UK over the summer.
Ideal for fans of Blur, The Cure, The Maccabees, & Big Thief, with influences spanning from post-punk to indie-folk.
Don’t Wake the Neighbours are a 7 piece band who play original rock music with influences from all across the musical spectrum.
Their catchy hooks and harmonies mixed with classic rock guitars and drums create a great sound that is sure to get you (and the neighbours) jumping.
repare for a moment of quiet power and emotional resonance as Martha Fay brings her evocative voice and heartfelt songwriting to Tunes in the Dunes 2026. A rising singer-songwriter, Martha crafts music that feels deeply personal and cinematic — weaving intimate storytelling with atmospheric, dream-tinged soundscapes that draw you in from the first note.
Her songs often feel like secret confessions set to melody, with haunting vocals that balance raw vulnerability and quiet strength, making each performance feel both personal and universal. Whether she’s strumming gentle acoustic lines or layering rich, textural arrangements, Martha Fay’s music creates a space where emotion and melody meet.
DANAMA’s music is like a vibrant celebration of her mental health journey, turning the struggles into something empowering and full of light! She loves to sprinkle little secret messages into her songs – what you hear on the surface might sound one way, but to her, it could be a whole different vibe, layered with meaning. It’s all about growth, progress, and shining through it all!
