HEAT 4 FEATURING:

NEWS ABOUT NOTHING - GLASS FROGS

- PUNK ASS KIDS - TOM SHELDON

NEWS ABOUT NOTHING: Emerging in 2025, News About Nothing blends, alternative rock grit, indie energy and singer songwriter emotion into a genre-defying melting pot. The ambitious, York based quartet will transport you swaying through wry lyricism draped in harmony, towards defiant grooves that hint of new-wave rebellion. News About Nothing's fresh sound is not to be ignored. GLASS FROGS: In the crucible of creeping civilisational collapse, Glass Frogs combine the hopelessness of the times with the abnormalities of their minds to forge groovy tunes to shake ass to. They’re known for an eclectic repertoire and dynamic performances, so if you have a hankering for eccentrically decorated rage played by five purple jacks missing their boxes then thank goodness your reading this newspaper advertisement.

PUNK ASS KIDS: A group of toothpaste munching verified cheesesluts, ranting and raving about all the big issues, old people, the mistreatment and intentional institutional dismemberment of the NHS, musicals, the collapse of the American world order, slugs (WITH LEGS) and daddy issues. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question their sanity. Bring your teeth, your paste, and a pint. You'll need it. TOM SHELDON: Tom Sheldon is a blues/rock artist from Cambridge, having studied in York. With a natural command over his craft, he released his debut EP “Otherside Of You”, an introspective journey conveyed through authentic melodies and heartfelt lyrics, focusing on themes of love and death. Having already made waves through gigs across London, Tom thrives on stage, connecting with audiences through their genuine sound. By blending classic rock elements with a modern touch, his music resonates across generations. Poised for a promising future, Tom represents the evolving face of blues/rock music, driven by a sincere love for the craft!
