The Line of Best Fit returns with the twelfth edition of the Five Day Forecast, an annual festival showcasing the very best in new music.

One of the most exciting bands in the UK right now, Bathing Suits open the first night of the 2027 Five Day Forecast with their industrial freak-pop that’s been winning over audiences across the UK over the last twelve months with brute noise and manic energy. They were one of the names everyone was talking about at The Great Escape back in the spring, and they head into 2027 with vocalist and drum programmer Freyja Blevins as the most striking frontperson in new music. They’re joined by the completely brilliant COMPOST COMPOST COMPOST, whose shuffling post-rock, electronic art-pop draws from the most inventive corners of the last few decades of music to make something entirely their own. Rounding off the night is lttl mort, another band pushing the boundaries of noise with their snarling sleaze-soaked synth-pop.

Since its launch in 2015, the Five Day Forecast has featured Mercury Music prize nominees Self Esteem, Jockstrap, Porridge Radio and Black Country New Road as well as early shows from the likes of Madra Salach, Pale Waves, Katy J Pearson, Squid, and debut UK performances from Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Gia Margaret, Faye Webster and more.
