A Belated The Great Escape 2025 Write Up
Yeah, yeah, we know it was a couple of months ago but we did just want to note how special TGE 2025 was to us at TNAM. For the first time ever we got not one but two festival stages where we were allowed to display some of our favourite artists on the Loud LDN lineup (who we couldn’t have done it without!) as well as open the stage for anyone else out there who wanted to play but didn’t get selected through the official routes with our open mic.
RALLY Festival 2025 Ones to Watch
RALLY 2025 Ones to Watch Our top picks from one of the best London festivals this year [Ticket Link Here] 21 August 2025 By Caitlin Taylor Last year RALLY arguably had one of the best festival lineups and this year is no different. If you’re in the know or desperately want to be, this is the festival for you. Merging alternative and electronic sounds, from indie rock veterans Porridge Radio to party-focused newcomers Bassvictim. If you studied art at Camberwell, spend nights at the Nags Head, are a regular at Ormside or just grew up watching Skins – this one’s for you. BASSVICTIM Instagram A duo who met in Berlin and formed outside of Peckham Audio, Ike and Maria have been making music since 2023. Both their EPs have been named after their self-defined invented genre Basspunk, a mix of EDM, electroclash, hyperpop and indie sleaze sounds. Cool party music. ASTRID SONNE Instagram Danish singer Astrid Sonne’s lyrics are simple but touching, raw and stripped back, paired with creative and layered instrumentation influenced by her classical training. “Do you wanna” has been stuck in my head for months. MOIN Instagram A real mish-mash of genres, MOIN are a trio made up of Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews from Raime with the added talents of Valentina Magaletti on percussion. Their most recent EP was just released in June and features an incredible spoken word opening track featuring Sophia Al-Maria’s voice. Really interesting and creative stuff. TAAHLIAH “I wanna be a star, simple as that” is how Glaswegian artist Taahliah opens her 2024 album Gramarye. She’s versatile and fun, an impressive DJ and producer who also manages to remain emotionally vulnerable within her poetic lyrics. PORRIDGE RADIO Instagram If there’s any reason to attend, you need to come in order to catch Porridge Radio at one of their last ever gigs. I am personally incredibly devastated about the whole ordeal and probably go on about it too much, but still, it’s very sad. Their 2020 album ‘Every Bad’ is one of my all time favorites and their 2024 release ‘Clouds in the Sky They Will Always Be There For Me’ is equally special.
