Comprised of Cameron (lead vocals, guitar), Lewis (drums), and Judwyn (vocals, bass)— thistle. is a trio whose lo-fi, introspective yet hardcore sound, forged in a garage in Northampton, is capturing the attention of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and Radio X. Elements of shoegaze, indie rock and hardcore are at the forefront for thistle. but the band draws from a broad spectrum of influences, from Pavement to Polachek.

thistle.’s Lewis and Cameron first crossed paths in a school music room in Northampton, aged just thirteen. The final piece of the puzzle, Judwyn, stepped in on bass in 2023, solidifying the lineup. Their raw energy and DIY ethos have seen them lay waste to the stages of The Windmill, The Grace, and saw them make their festival debut at Truck in 2024. Gathering solid co-signs at UK radio in Dan P Carter and Steve Lamacq (with Steve attending a show recently), the band are set to continue picking up fans with more live dates in the pipeline.



Entry requirements: 14+, any under 18s accompanied by 21+ adult 1:1 ratio
