PLANTFOOD
Plantfood are a blood-pumping jazz force summoning an onslaught of electronic and acoustic sounds with influences ranging from heavy hitters like The Prodigy to the spiritual explorations of John Coltrane. The 6-piece collective guides audiences through the extremes of the mosh pit to serene meditations. Forming within and coming up through the inspiring Leeds Jazz scene, Plantfood have quickly become a defining sound in the scene.
“Powerful as ever” - Jess Iszatt, BBC Radio 1.
“My favourite discovery of Glastonbury 2023” - Papaoul.
As featured on their debut album Carnivores, Yung Yusuf is an English-Palestinian rapper previously known as Yusuf Yellow. His lyrics are marked by a deep exploration of fear, identity, and vulnerability, while his playful wordplay and unique energy keep listeners on their toes. With his music, Yusuf lays bare his internal struggles and triumphs with candid, unfiltered execution.
Touring across the UK with sellout headline shows in London, Leeds, York, Falmouth, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge, Plantfood and Yung Yusuf have reached new sonic horizons, fusing Punk, Jazz and Electronica in bold and explosive arrangements. Alongside this, they have supported many established artists such as Dele Sosimi, BCUC and upcoming performances for Nubiyan Twist.
“It’s hard to keep still to that one, the bass and percussion alone produce enough energy to power the grid.” - Soweto Kinch, BBC Radio 3
“Impeccable track - Plantfood and Yung Yusuf sound like they’re just made for each other.” - Emily Pilbeam, BBC Introducing.
Support for Plantfood extends beyond live shows, as successful Help Musicians applicants and winners of the 2023 Drake Yolanda award. The band were also selected for Tina Edward’s ‘Next Big Thing’ playlist via British Airways. Plantfood have featured all over radio via the likes of Craig Charles, Jess Iszatt, Jamz Supernova, Soweto Kinch and Sian Eleri on stations such as BBC 1, BBC 3, BBC 6 Music, Selector Radio and WWFM, as well as hitting track of the week on BBC Introducing.

THE PETROV BOYS
The Petrov Boys are a 6-piece musical entity, known for their genre-blurring fusion of Balkan, jazz, rock, funk, and metal. With a unique line-up that includes both a violin and a saxophone, they weave haunting melodies and powerful harmonies into their compositions.
Their sound is a labyrinthine journey, heavily influenced by bands such as Estradasphere, Darth Vegas, Mr. Bungle, Frank Zappa, Farmers Market, and Secret Chiefs 3. Expect intricate compositions, unexpected sonic twists, and gruesome visual stimulation.
