Sneaky Pete's

Sending it into the start of next week every Sunday at Sneaky Pete’s.

Free Time is Sneaky Pete’s Sunday 6-10pm DJ series with legendary artists

Midland is one of our very favourite DJs

Volens Chorus is returning to the fabled grounds of Sneaky Pete’s to cause a ruckus with a residents night of legendary proportions. We collect resi’s like Pokemon and our roster is filled with only the shiniest of local DJ’s, the queens of the cowgate Buckfast Barbie and Lara Sinclair are joined by the court jesters Cal Ochiltree SKIMUDA and Quarterpoundernocheese, all with the common goal of delivering genre breaking mind melting sets filled with huge basses and abraisive noises. Get down early stay late. Bosh.

Vanapalooza returns to the capital for its second year, taking over Sneaky Pete’s, one of Scotland’s most beloved grassroots venues. This mini-festival brings four amazing live acts together for an energetic night of rock, punk, and lounge-infused sounds.

Space Van deliver driving rock energy, and The TV Casualties bring sharp punk attitude. The Rise add their distinctive lounge rock vibe, and David Leon represents one of the most compelling performers in Scotland

Expect a compact, high-energy evening of performances designed for fans who love intimate venues and bold, immediate music. With affordable admission and a tight lineup, Vanapalooza is a must for anyone looking to catch great new and established acts in a classic local setting.

Hot Mess is Scotland’s longest-running and, some would say, most beloved queer clubbing institution.

Simonotron plays tear-drenched orchestral disco, raw, bumping house, high-NRG classics and bleepy psychedelic techno all night long. Offering dancefloor comfort and joy for people of all genders, sexualities, ethnicities and ages, Hot Mess will blow your mind, give you little forehead kisses, and call you a good boy.

Following a sellout show at Leith FAB Cricket Club, World News return to Edinburgh

“…throwback indie rock of the highest order” – THE FADER

“If you think that jangly, bittersweet indie-pop is a lost art, then you owe it to yourself to check out this London band, who would’ve been stars on ’80s college radio.” – STEREOGUM

“addictively bittersweet post-rock” – PASTE

“World News has the musicianship of a band that’s been around for decades… – EARMILK

With an eclectic set of influences from the ‘70s and ‘80s dipping into post-punk, indie-rock and shoegaze alike, World News combines addictive atmospheric guitar riffs with seductive, nonchalant melodies. Moody, punchy, and nostalgic, they’ve drawn comparisons to iconic British bands from The Smiths and The Clash to Dire Straits, wearing the past on their sleeve while remaining perfectly original yet strangely familiar.

2024 saw a continued upward trajectory for the band with the release of two standout EPs, Escape and Mindsnap, their debut appearance in the US at The New Colossus Festival in New York City, and features in Stereogum’s 40 Best New Artists of 2024 and The Fader’s 13 Artists to Watch for 2025. Contributions to 2025 include the singles ‘Don’t Want to Know’ and ‘Everything Is Coming Up Roses’, which set the tone for their 2026 debut LP, alongside a string of summer festival dates and continued sell-out shows across the UK.
