DF Concerts Presents: Adult DVD
Over their brief time as Adult DVD, the Leeds based 6-piece have become known for their relentless output of infectious hooks and grooves with a euphoric live show that could be mistaken for a club night.
DF Concerts Presents: Voka Gentle
Since their acclaimed second album ‘WRITHING!’, the trio (William J Stokes, Ellie Mason and Imogen Mason) have been busy honing their collective craft, now emerging with an evolved confidence and creative curiosity that explains why they are held in such high esteem by both their musical peers and legends of their genre (Wayne Coyne, Bombay Bicycle Club’s Jack Steadman, Animal Collective’s Panda Bear, Spacemen 3’s Sonic Boom, to name just a few).
DF Concerts Presents: Bratakus
Bratakus are two sisters from the Highlands of Scotland who play politically charged punk rock 'n' roll. They are fast, furious and full of righteous rage. Kicking out the jams with minimal nonsense and maximum ragged attitude.
DF Concerts Presents: JOOLS
“These violent delights have violent ends,” sings co-vocalist Kate Price on both the album opener ‘The Pleasures’ and its climactic, curtain-dropping title track. “And violently you’ll see, nobody decides it’s over for me, but me.” It’s an echo that bookends Violent Delights by deliberate, poignant design.
DF Concerts Presents: Scustin
Scustin… More than just a band, Scustin blurs the lines between crowd and artist. When you step into a Scustin concert, you don’t just watch the band—you become part of it.
Scustin is a state of mind, a shared love for all things craic. To be "Scustin" is to belong to a group united by this love, where every show is a celebration of connection, culture, and pure, unfiltered fun.
DF Concerts Presents: Madra Salach

DF Concerts Presents: HighSchool
From Melbourne, HighSchool are the duo of Rory Trobbiani and Luke Scott who caught attention with their six-track debut EP , Forever at Last (which featured fan favourites ‘New York, Paris and London’ and ‘Frosting’), showing a new band who were putting a new lens on classic lo-fi, new wave, goth and post-punk.
DF Concerts Presents: The New Cut

DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs
When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasn’t expecting any replies.
But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if he’d hop on a call. Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage.
