Sneaky Pete's

Melanie Baker makes music about everything that hurts and everything that feels just right. Based in Newcastle (UK), she writes with unflinching honesty – songs that sway between noisy catharsis and quiet confession, between absurd humour and deep vulnerability. With pounding drums, fuzzy guitars, and tender lyrical precision, Baker reclaims the grit and spirit of ’90s alt-rock through a queer, modern lens.

DAYS Festival has cemented itself as the place to be for those that are looking for something a bit different from their usual festival experience. Over the last three editions of Days, we’ve set a goal of providing alternative lineups and fostering the best and most respectful crowd in the city. We continue this theme into May for the second edition of Summer Days.

Heyday is a queer night for people passionate about house music with Prosumer.

Prosumer decamped to Edinburgh from Berlin where he helped shape the sound Berghain’s Panorama Bar alongside long time collaborator Steffi. Now a popular NTS Radio resident, he’s continued to tour globally and is now equally well known as a frequent flyer at Homobloc, Glastonbury’s Block9 and NYC Downlow, Love International and numerous Boiler Rooms.

PINS are a Manchester-based post-punk band formed in 2011, known for their raw, driving sound and sharp, politically aware edge. Led by vocalist and guitarist Faith Vern, the band blend jagged guitars, motorik rhythms and minimalist hooks, drawing influence from early punk, krautrock and noise rock. They broke through with their debut album Girls Like Us (2013), followed by Wild Nights (2015) and Hot Slick (2016), releases that earned them acclaim for their confrontational energy and uncompromising songwriting. PINS quickly built a reputation as a fierce live band, touring extensively across the UK, Europe and the US and sharing stages with artists such as Sleater-Kinney, Savages and The Kills.

Following releases on Shall Not Fade, Scuffed Recordings, Hardline and other key labels, Stones Taro has quickly become a present and important producer within the UK scene despite being based out of Kyoto, Japan.

Known for his unique DJ sets and productions that seamlessly blend breakbeats, UK garage, house, bass and jungle, Stones Taro has gained international recognition performing at renowned festivals including Draaimolen, Rainbow Disco Club and Fuji Rock, and via his monthly residency on Rinse FM.

Carving psych grooves through the grey sprawl of London, common goldfish is the underground project of Tottenham’s Jonty Lovell—producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a taste for breakbeats, warped synths, and that golden-era fuzz. Blending the swagger of Britpop, the groove of funk, and the pulse of ‘90s electronica, common goldfish sounds like a half-remembered night out— hazy, nostalgic and full of feeling.

What started as spontaneous sets in local skateparks and canals has since grown into a full-blown 4-piece live outfit—bringing a wild energy to venues like Camden Assembly and Peckham Audio, and owning the stage at
BBC Introducing showcases and The Great Escape’s First Fifty.

For our final event in May we are yet again partnering with Conscious to bring them their after party.

(This event is open to the public but will be limited tickets on the door so get down early if you want to boogie)
