Ezra Collective
Ezra Collective will bring us a very special bespoke performance that celebrates the importance of youth clubs across the country. The London jazz quintet have become a staple of the live scene ever since they first formed in 2012, captivating audiences with their infectious rhythms and unstoppable talent. They released their first studio album in 2019 and since then they have been rising quickly into prominence. In the last few years they released a second album (Where I'm Meant To Be), which won the 2023 Mercury Prize, and a third (Dance, No One's Watching).
Fat Dog
Fat Dog are a five-piece from south east London, who formed in 2020 and made a name for themselves as a raucous live band before releasing any music. They've become known for their unique blend of punk and dance, and their distinctive drummer who performs wearing a latex dog mask. Their first studio album (WOOF.) was released towards the end of 2024 but in the meantime they've toured around the UK, performed at South By Southwest in Texas, and supported the likes of Viagra Boys and Yard Act.Friday 28 March

Mogwai
Mogwai return to 6 Music Festival, bringing a unique collaboration with KNDS Fairey Acid Brass to Victoria Warehouse. The iconic Scottish post-rock band formed in 1991 and released their first album in 1997. The intense, dynamic, largely instrumental pieces that they are known for have earned them significant acclaim across their eleven albums - the latest of which (The Bad Fire) was released in January, and follows up As The Love Continues which reached number 1 on the UK albums chart in 2021. In recent years the band have made a name for themselves in a new part of the industry, making scores and soundtracks to numerous films and TV series.
