As some of you may know, a lot of established BandSoc bands are leaving us at the end of this year. Before they all go off and get real jobs, we thought it would be a great idea to get a few of them together and throw one last big gig with them, some sort of ‘Farewell Festival’.

Everything After Midnight are a female fronted five-piece from York. Harnessing a sound inspired by the likes of Phoebe Bridgers, The Beths, and Wolf Alice, an EAM track can land anywhere between upbeat jangle and sincere ambience opened for acts such as The Lounge Society, Do Nothing, Circa Waves and LIFE, and are once again bringing their music back to their hometown this April! This marks their biggest show to date, following their two, sold out headline shows in 2023.

Dele’s Afrobeat pedigree is impeccable. He was keys player and a musical director in Fela Kuti’s Egypt 80 and subsequently with Fela’s son Co founding & leading Femi Kuti’s Positive Force. Dele’s pulsating live shows demonstrate his vision of Afrobeat – one that is faithful to the original blueprint, but also clearly bears Dele’s own DNA, expanding the horizons of the genre.
