Scottish with Pakistani-Norwegian roots Nadine Shah is often described - both in voice and mystique - as a mix of PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. She debuted in 2012 with two EPs featuring her brooding, atmospheric blend of midnight loner pop and indie rock, followed by the album "Love Your Dum and Mad" in 2013.

On her third (Mercury Prize-nominated) 2017 album, 'Holiday Destination,' she confronted right-wing nationalism and the conservative government around the ongoing plight of refugees. Shah is no stranger to speaking out for causes she strongly believes in, be it promoting mental health awareness or women's rights.

Her latest album is called "Filthy Underneath" and chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in Nadine Shah's life and has a decidedly vibrant and powerful drive. She lets the demons she has conquered during her thirty-seven years of life pass before her with a balletic beauty. Nadine co-wrote the music with partner in crime and producer Ben Hillier, focusing on melody and movement.

Support: Callum Easter

ls Callum Easter niet op tour is met Young Fathers, speelt het multi-instrumentaal talent  uit Edinburgh solo. Steeds op zoek naar de balans tussen impulsieve en verfijnde songwriting.

Zijn tweede album, System, uitgebracht in november 2021 door Lost Map Records en Moshi Moshi Records, bouwt voort op zijn debuut Here Or Nowhere (2019), dat genomineerd werd voor de Scottish Album of the Year Award. System werd grotendeels door Callum zelf opgenomen in zijn studio in Edinburgh en straalt een gedurfde, energieke vibe uit die nieuwe wegen inslaat. Het album onderzoekt thema's zoals de waanzin van het alledaagse leven, met een mix van rock-‘n-roll, soulpunk en humor.
