ILM presents
Racehorse x Mexican Dave x Emilia and The Unknown

Racehorse
Racehorse are a three piece UK punk rock band, heavily indebted to the cream of the early 90s to late 00s post-hardcore and melodic punk groups such as Leatherface, Dag Nasty, Jawbreaker and Alkaline Trio.
Active since 2014, the band have played alongside acts as powerful and diverse as HAWXX, Wych Elm, LAKES and Back Teeth, to name but a few. Their most recent album, Good Intentions, released in 2025 and showed a continuing maturation of their rollicking but tender sound, incorporating pop sensibilities and hooks alongside a more rough hewn punk rock aggression.

Mexican Dave & The Mariachi Scum
Mexican Dave is a rising folk-punk artist based in Bristol. Following the release of his debut EP, Kinda Wasted, he has taken his energetic performances across the UK, playing everywhere from intimate pubs and cozy house shows to renowned venues and major festivals like 2000 Trees, Beautiful Days, Barnstomper and Here for the Music.
Mexican Dave has recently shared the stage with notable acts such as Black Water County, Nick Parker, Imprints, and Jake Martin, captivating audiences with his raw, heartfelt songs about mental health, wild nights out, and the ups and downs of navigating life.
