Line Up

2025 is coming up all Rackets. Having kicked off their Some Things Never Change debut EP project with successful launches of Thursday Bags and Brunette Girl; they are ones to watch over the summer.

The Rackets are an emerging 4-piece Indie Rock band based in South London, formed in 2019. While taking inspiration from the likes of The Libertines, Fontaines DC and The Strokes, they continue to carve out their own space in the indie rock landscape. Combining alternative pop-rock and classic 2000s indie rock, with bursting guitars, off-kilter drumming, and genre-bending instrumentals, The Rackets promise to be a spectacle on the stage.

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!
