Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell out warning! Bristol’s fave gobby Britpop-punks are calling it a day - but not before one last sweaty singalong at the Lanes! Gritty crankwave with a side of 90s nostalgia, Saloon Dion have all the swaggering riffs and danceable pop rhythms of a demented Robbie Williams/Happy Mondays/Yard Act hybrid - we shall not see their like again :’((("

Formed in Bristol in 2021, Saloon Dion have crafted a sound that effortlessly combines the rawness of 1980’s punk with the sing-along melodies of 1990’s Manchester.
Over the past two years, they’ve canvassed the British Isles, sharing the stage with the likes of Sprints, Pip Blom, and Opus Kink.
In 2023, they spread their wings further afield and performed at SXSW, Texas, where they summoned cowboys to convenience stores and shared a stage with Renee Zellweger.
There’s a chemistry that permeates the music, a sense of kinship, a resonance with the audience. It's five friends, doing what they love with the people they love night after night.
