Kiran Leonard, Lobby, Lazy Day + More

Sad Machine returns to The Ivy House with the best lineup of 2025 in tow;

Kiran Leonard is one of my favourite ever artists and a true icon of the scene, fresh off the back of 2024's Real Home - the finest in a catalogue of perfect records. He and his band (ft. members of Caroline, Shovel Dance Collective) will be showcasing his uniquely literate, off-kilter version of 'indie rock' in a very special headline set.

Also playing:

Strung out emo trio, Lobby, featuring members of Leather.head and Goat Girl.

Perfect indie pop from Lazy Day

Art rock masters, Sculpture Park, featuring members of The Golden Dregs.

Olive wreath, 2025's most thrilling new voice in bedroom pop.

Lanny, the solo project of Ex-Void + Joanna Gruesome frontperson Lan, in which they explore an idiosyncratic, deconstructed take on the hook-heavy guitar pop they're known for.

One of the country's most unique and enthralling new voices, Rowan & Friends

Kissing Gate, one of South London's most beloved new art rock bands.

Plus more to be announced!

The Ivy House is a single-floor venue that has a single step at it's entrance, with a gender neutral toilet. There will not be a sign language interpreter at this event. Nobody turned away for lack of funds.

Presented by Sad Machine.

This is an 18+ event.
