Original tracks melded with what you need to hear. Influences from the Mid 90s dancing in fields to all manner the underground electronic music scene had to offer.

BANDS:

Across Saturday evening...

Love Fortress - hypnagogic five piece from Falmouth, Cornwall.

Emerging band Love Fortress bring their alternative fortress psych hypnagogic rock to the Rame Peninsula! Compared to The Doors and other tripped-out 60s sounds with stylings of late 60s psych pop, skewering toward the absurdist. They are often seen wearing nice shirts.⁠ Our DJs are excited to FINALLY see them live, and what a place to see them!

Grace Lightman - ethereal retrofuturistic Alt/Pop

Fresh from touring with Gabriella Climi and having previously supported the likes of Snow Patrol & Westerman, Grace Lightman’s melting pot of musical styles makes its way to the Patchwork Studios stage! Through hypnotic hip hop beats, jazz piano melodies, shiny synths and atmospheric ambience we'll get more than just a glimpse of Grace's ethereal, other-worldly performance.

Dart Splitter - 4 piece Nu-Metal band from Plymouth

Consisting of members from local emo-punk outfit In August and nu-deathcore band Lacerta, you can expect a whole lot of headbanging grooves and emotive lyrics. A new project still its early stages, they are a band worth noting offering something new to the local scene.

FFO: Karnivool, Vower, Vola, Linkin Park

"Spitting out riffs to send you kicking in the pits" - DartSpitter est.2026

Soren Bryce - Raw and enigmatic expression crafted by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of Tummyache.

Having recently played support to The Maccabees at The Eden Project, Tummyache’s Soren Bryce arrives atop this hill of ours to bring their DIY sound to Maker Heights. Falling somewhere between Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief) and Kurt Cobain, Soren has managed to find space in both the UK and US scenes, where they toured with La Dispute last year. Bryce’s music pulls no punches; her lyrics confront issues of class and inner conflict, inviting listeners to face the realities she lays bare.

NatJacobT - Plymouth based moody Folk Alt-popperNatJacobT is a Plymouth artist fusing moody folk and alt-pop, delivering emotive originals and vibrant covers. For those who love music that tells a story of love, loss and hope.

Be sure to catch his latest release “The Bloom and The Burn” on Spotify.

See you up the hill.
