Joining them will be Synth-pop six piece Adult DVD, LA’s lo-fi-psych-drone-pop singer-songwriter Lael Neale, dark-pop five piece Dog Race, noise-rockers Makeshift Art Bar, hotly tipped heavy alt-grunge quartet Bleech 9:3 and psychedelic pop-rockers Floral Image. Scotland’s electro duo Roller Disco Death Party, post-punk-alt-rockers National Playboys and psych-shoegaze five-piece Sunstingers complete the first wave announcement.

Taking place across multiple Edinburgh venues, with many more names still to announce, the 2026 festival promises another unforgettable day filled with mind-bending sounds, trippy visuals and a celebration of all things psychedelic.
