Live music provided by Dubinski, Polyphonic Sonder and The Dull Fudds up to and beyond midnight.Dubinski:Fierce, melodic, and unflinchingly honest, Dubinski stand at the forefront of Scotlands next wave of alternative rock. Praised for their electrifying live shows and heartfelt songwriting, Dubinski combine jagged guitars, propulsive rhythms, and soaring vocal hooks with thoughtful, socially-aware lyricism. Channeling influences that span The Clash to LCD Soundsystem, Dubinski forge a sound that is unmistakably their own, with the rare ability to balance raw power with introspection.Born in rural North Yorkshire and raised in the Scottish Highlands, Dubinski are four inseparable siblings: Eugene, Fergus, Donal and Eoin Gaine. Taking on the band name Dubinski (their late mothers maiden name), the band released their acclaimed eponymous debut album in 2022 and took their high-energy show on the road as an international touring act. Upon their return, the band re-enlisted Grammy Award winning producers Mike Horner and Robbie Nelson (The Rolling Stones, Hot Chip, Frank Ferdinand) to record their critically acclaimed sophomore album 'What Is Your Definition Of Happiness?, released in March 2025.Polyphonic Sonder:
