A driving force in the new wave of UK grime and dubstep, Skala fuses the classic 140 sound with the heaviest of basslines and breaks, taking inspiration from UK garage and jungle alike and carving her name into the future UK underground.
Skala joins us for her Scottish debut this January following a breakthrough 2025 that saw her perform at Sammy Virji’s WHP takeover, two Keep Hush shows and share bills with Mala, Neffa-T, Saint Ludo, Y U QT and many more.
Petrichor is the moniker for the music of Reuben Eves. He opts to create experimental, unconventionally structured tracks surrounding themes such as his internal struggles with mental health issues including severe OCD; relationships within his life, and social/political commentary. Petrichor’s music is predominantly dark of style and instrumentation, with use of bassy synths, eerie strings and ghostly reverb. Blending a variety of influences from classical compositions to cloud-rap, bringing a fresh take to alternative electronic music.
Having published music online for a few years, this will be his first live gig, performing his upcoming `EP “A Black Dog” alongside unreleased tracks.
Supporting Petrichor will be local legends Bladud! Fresh from supporting rising stars Legss on their “Unreal” tour, they are a six-piece Art Rock band. Since debuting at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, they’ve shared stages with the likes of Blue Bendy and Bible Club, quickly carving out a space for themselves in the Edinburgh underground scene. Their music blends intricate – and sometimes abrasive – guitar work with intimate passages, pairing textured instrumentation with spoken-sung vocals and pop-leaning melodies. Bladud! craft songs that are both forward thinking and unexpectedly tender, marking them as one of Scotland’s most compelling emerging acts.
Rising star BASTI invites house and garage heavyweight JACK MARLOW up to the capital for his Scotland debut. With recent shows including the Warehouse Project and Hoer Berlin, JACK MARLOW has attracted international acclaim as one of Europe’s hottest live acts. Meanwhile, his distinct house infused garage sound has garnered millions of streams. Rest assured his Scottish debut will be one for the books.
Tickets now live – don’t hang about.
Described as “both very traditional and highly flexible” by Folkworld Magazine’s Alex Monaghan, and as “one of the most energetic and creative acts to take root in the local Celtic music scene this century” by Boston Irish Reporter Sean Smith, Scottish Fish present a fresh take on traditional and contemporary Scottish and Cape Breton music. After growing up steeped in the Boston Celtic music scene, these five young women began touring at an early age, quickly enchanting domestic and international audiences with their youthful enthusiasm, creative arrangements, and sensitive performances. As described by a concertgoer, “this powerhouse quintet wows listeners with a luscious and exciting sound, at times five instruments sharing one voice, and others a dynamic orchestra of harmony. Their years of friendship cultivate a truly unique musical bond. Their love for each other and the music they create is a gift they offer to anyone willing to listen.”
IN PARALLEL are back at RARE after their sellout debut back in February.

The Rebel is the long-running solo project of Ben Wallers, best known as the frontman of cult Scottish band Country Teasers. Operating under the moniker since the early 2000s, Wallers has built a vast and unpredictable catalogue that spans lo-fi punk, experimental rock, spoken word, and electronic noise. His work as The Rebel is marked by a sharp sense of satire, surreal lyricism, and a fiercely DIY ethos — often recorded on rudimentary equipment and released through small labels or handmade cassettes.
