Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Sell-out warning! Nottingham’s freak-pop melodrama merchants Divorce bring their luminous tonic to Trinity. Serving up a smorgasbord of bitter and bright bedroom ditties that draw you in with an inviting glow then punt you right in the feelings. Unmissable FFO: Mitski, Black Country, New Road, Indigo De Souza, Grizzly Bear."

DIVORCE • www.instagram.com/divorcehq

Since bursting onto the scene with their 2022 debut EP Get Mean, followed by Heady Metal, they’ve earned champions across press and radio. Their 2024 singles “Gears” and the indie-anthem “My Room” cemented their reputation as rising stars to watch.
Renowned for their theatricality and powerful live presence, Divorce have sold out tours and captivated audiences across the UK and Europe. With their highly anticipated debut album Drive to Goldenhammer arriving in March 2025, the band continue to build momentum, delivering unforgettable performances that showcase their distinct mix of musicality and flair.
