FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
Across five albums - 2009's „Lungs", 2011's „Ceremonials", 2015's „How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful", 2018's „High As Hope" and 2022's „Dance Fever" - Florence Welch, also known as Florence + The Machine, has become one of the most monumental artists of a generation, with multiple US and UK #1 albums and countless awards. Known for her earth-shattering live show and singular, iconic voice, Florence has sold out shows and headlined festivals the entire world over. She has collaborated and shared stages with icons - The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift among them - and published a book of lyrics, poetry and drawings, Useless Magic. Last year Florence presented her sixth studio album „Everybody Scream". The title track was written and produced by Florence Welch over the past two years, with a close-knit circle of collaborators including Mark Bowen of IDLES, Aaron Dessner and Mitski.  After needing lifesaving surgery on the Dance Fever Tour, Florence's recovery took her down the path of spiritual mysticism, witchcraft and folk horror as she felt the limits of her body and explored what it means to be "healed". The album treads through womanhood, partnership, aging and dying; exposing the murky in the mundane. Experience Florence + The Machine at Orange Main Stage, July 1.

PANDA BEAR & SONIC BOOM
Panda Bear & Sonic Boom met via MySpace 20 years ago after Panda Bear thanked Spacemen 3 in the liner notes of his album „Person Pitch".  In 2016 Sonic Boom left his home in England for Portugal where Panda Bear was already residing. The two have since forged an enduring partnership with Sonic Boom co-producing a spate of Panda Bear releases including 2011's „Tomboy", including performing the album live together, and worked closely on 2015's „Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper". In 2022 Sonic Boom pitched an idea to take their working relationship to the next level,  resulting in the collaboration of „RESET", an album of gloriously, feverishly hook-bound tracks.  The duo continues to make music and perform live together as Panda Bear & Sonic Boom and have a new 7" single „Graveyard / Lucky charm" available on Record Store Day on 4/18. Panda Bear & Sonic Boom are playing at Alter Stage, July 3

JEHNNY BETH
Jehnny Beth first came to prominence as the compelling frontwoman of Savages, the Mercury Prize–nominated post-punk band known for its live performances and stark lyricism. Her acclaimed solo debut "To Love Is To Live"(2020) expanded that vision - bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged. In 2022, she returned to the stage with IDLES, toured with Depeche Mode in Europe, and joined Queens of the Stone Age across the U.S. Reuniting in France with longtime creative partner Johnny Hostile - just off tour with Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - she began shaping "You Heartbreaker, You" - a cathartic, radical album born of urgency, joy, and rebellion. With instinctive lyrics, fierce vocals, and Hostile's uncompromising production, the record channels chaos into sonic liberation. "You Heartbreaker, You" offers a visceral space to scream, breathe, and feel alive in a world teetering on collapse. Don't miss Jehnny Beth on Flow Stage, July 3!

JOY (ANONYMOUS)
Having established themselves by playing impromptu meet-ups on London's South Bank, Henry Counsell and Louis Curran, the men who make up Joy (Anonymous), have quickly graduated to much bigger venues. Their music revels in the euphoria of being alive and all the feelings, good or bad, that come with it. Their second album „Cult Classics" (2023) follows the beat of a night out, from frenetic, sweaty movement to the gentler winding down as the dawn breaks. At times it is euphoric, celebratory and pure, whirling fun, at others it seeks the joy in the darker emotions that life throws our way. Joy (Anonymous) still remain dedicated to the spirit of spontaneity. They shut a street down with a surprise waterside party in New York and on a trip to Copenhagen, they played an impromptu set in a cafe, which turned into a house party and a night-long good time. Collaborating with The Blessed Madonna and going B2B with Fred Again... at Alexandra Palace has given the duo the opportunity to live out childhood dreams and introduced their infectious live shows to new audiences at huge venues. You have to see them at Open'er! Alter Stage, July 1

JUST MUSTARD
Just Mustard is the Ireland-based band of Katie Ball, David Noonan, Mete Kalyoncuoğlu, Rob Clarke, and Shane Maguire. Across their first two albums - 2018's „Wednesday" and „Heart Under" (2022) they "rode a wave of noise to the front of the shoegaze pack, breaking from the distorted yearning of the genre's softer acolytes" (Pitchfork). The band's latest album "WE WERE JUST HERE" was released in October. While Just Mustard's signature elements are still intact on the upcoming release - warped guitars, twisted sound design and cavernous low ends - this time, it's all been channeled into a warmer and more anthemic path. Inspired by club spaces and physical joy, the songs strive for immediacy and feeling. Just Mustard subsequently went on a world tour and were handpicked by Robert Smith to support The Cure, as well as performing with Depeche Mode and Fontaines D.C. Now they're coming to Open'er - Flow Stage, July 3

BASSVICTIM
London based duo comprised of Polish-English vocalist & writer Maria Manow and American-English producer Ike Clateman. They both met in Berlin in 2022 to mutual dislike, until reconvening four months later outside of Peckham Audio in London. Ike came up with the band name at said party due to the bass being "too intense." They released their first single "Canary Wharf Freestyle" in 2023. Their EP-s „Basspunk" and „Basspunk 2" came out respectively in 2024 and 2025. Last year saw the release of their debut album „Forever" and this year they presented their latest EP „?". You gotta check them out on Alter Stage, July 2.

SADIE JEAN
Sadie Jean is an American singer and songwriter who gained international recognition, among other things, thanks to the viral track „WYD Now?". Her work blends intimate pop with minimalist production and honest, emotional lyrics about relationships, growing up, and loneliness. Sadie Jean consistently develops her style, focusing on direct expression and subtle arrangements that highlight her distinctive vocals. This year saw the release of her debut album „Early Twenties Torture". And on July 4 you'll get the chance to see her live at Flow Stage.

HYPHEN DASH
Hyphen Dash is a Ukraine-based quartet founded in 2019, consisting of Myshko Birchenko(drums), Yevhen Puhachov (guitar, bass), Polina Maiboroda (keys, synths) and Dmytro Startsev (keys, synths). The band blends hip-hop, jazz, electronica, and prog-rock to reimagine instrumental music and explore new sonic landscapes. So far, the band has released a live EP from the NAMU Museum, several singles in collaboration with Ukrainian and international artists, a mixtape of demo tracks and Basement 626 album recorded 10 km from the frontline, which was featured in Rolling Stone and LATE album, which they created for 6 years. In January 2026, the band also went on tour, where they presented their latest album across the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Hungary. See them perform on Flow Stage, July 3.

SUPERMODEL*
supermodel* is the brainchild of frankie beanie, a virginia-born, los angeles-based artist and producer, whose music is the culmination of a world of influences: a love of hip-hop, an obsession with the Beastie Boys, and an instinctive feel for raw, playful experimentation. At its core, supermodel* is about instinct, irreverence, and breaking his own rules. "don't try and be cool. steal everything. don't overthink. always lowercase," he says of the project's ethos. Since his debut, supermodel* has carved out a distinct identity with a run of genre-blurring singles and striking, reference-rich visuals. from the hypnotic, dance-inflected "i used to live in england", to the warped, confident swagger of "no future," where beastie boys-inspired production collides with diy visual craft influenced by jamiroquai's "virtual insanity," each release has revealed a new facet of his vision. Check him out on Flow Stage, July 2

ŁASZEWO
Hailing from California, the trio Łaszewo is one of the fastest-rising names on the electronic pop scene. Matthew Ehrlich, Keeva Bouley, and Justin De La Fuente released their first track together in 2018, and thanks to songs like "Up In Flames" and "Till U Hate Me", as well as their high-energy live performances, their music quickly racked up millions of streams. In 2024, they released their debut album, "In Color". Catch them live at Flow Stage, July 4.

Belgian pianist and composer Grégoire Gerstmans has, for several years now, been developing an intimate and minimalist musical language centered around piano and silence. Following his debut album Hypnagogie (2024), he today releases Ceux qui restent — the first single from his second album Éternité, set for release on October 9, 2026 — as he'll be performing three times (!) at BRDCST on April 3, 4, and 5, 2026.

While on Hypnagogie, Grégoire Gerstmans paid tribute to the state between wakefulness and sleep — that fragile moment where reality and dreams intertwine — he explores time and presence on Éternité. Composed of eight minimalist pieces, the album invites listeners to slow down, inhabit each moment, and listen to silence. The first highlighted track, Ceux qui restent, pays tribute to those who remain when someone disappears — a gesture of care and presence.

The order of the tracks follows an almost symbolic temporality on this new album. This fifth piece represents a central moment in the record:
"Ceux qui restent is a tribute to a very dear friend who recently passed away. My wife and I were invited to his bedside — a moment suspended in time. We shared his most precious memories, and he took the time to offer us a rare gift: the strength of the present moment. Every small detail of life he left us — a vegetable in the sunlight, a passing fly, a scent, a country, a drop of rain — becomes a treasure. These simple moments, what remains of him, I dedicate to all those who continue their journey after the loss of a loved one.
The piece reminds us that every moment of life is a precious gift. I played it on my small piano at home, with a sound I chose and love. Through it, I share what I received: that fragile and infinite intensity that life offers us.
To you, my friend, and to you, the love of my life, I dedicate these notes and silences, these suspended moments. May Ceux qui restent be a bridge between memory and present, a breath of emotion that travels through time. May those who remain find in this piece tenderness, strength, and the beauty of small moments. It is not just a melody, but a gift from the heart, received and passed on. It is the echo of what we have lived together and what continues to live within us. Every moment, every breath, every detail carries the trace of those we love. And in this way, despite absence, those who remain carry forever what has been given."

Recorded once again in his studio, the album continues Grégoire Gerstmans' artistic approach: a refined, stripped-down music in which every note matters and where silence becomes an essential element of the musical language.
"Time that passes, time that flows through us, time we believe we possess but which constantly escapes us. I like to think that time itself is eternal. The share we give to it is simply human. Today, time has become something dark. We measure it, we consume it, we buy it. We get paid for time. It has become our primary currency. And yet, we no longer have any. We no longer have time for ourselves, for our loved ones, for our families. No more time to look up at the sky. No more time to breathe. No more time to simply be. To be here, now. In the present. Because perhaps eternity lies precisely there: in that moment. Time is eternity. Let us take it."

Between Hypnagogie and Éternité, his work continues the same quest: to explore those suspended moments of existence when time seems to slow down — when we fall asleep, or when we finally take the time to be present.
