TGBB Festival 2026 : Jour 1

For its third edition, They’re Gonna Be Big is more likely than ever to live up to its name with the cream of global indie and alternative music.

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 (7 PM - 12 AM)

MLEKO (Art Rock - Manchester, UK)

MLEKO, the Manchester septet signed to the Heist Or Hit label and having previously supported Deadletter, crafts a universe between post-punk, art rock, noise, and progressive-leaning experimentations. Behind this sonic excess lies songwriting full of humour and sincerity, where the grotesque meets the sublime. FFO: Black Country New Road, Squid & Black Midi

Date Camp (Indie Rock - DK/Denmark)

Between krautrock pulsations and tense softness, Date Camp (also programmed at Left Of The Dial 2026) builds a universe that is both transparent and elusive. Their songs invite change and contemplation. FFO: Women, Car Seat Headrest & Ulrika Spacek

Alien Boy (Alternative Indie - Portland, USA)

Alien Boy, signed to Get Better Records and having supported Glare, Soft Kill, and Frankie Cosmos in the USA, infuses their indie rock with a rare emotional breadth, blending irresistible guitars and melodies. Led by Sonia Weber's precise songwriting, the Portland band transforms the heart's dizzying depths into anthems. Between punk heritage, power pop sensibility, and cathartic energy, Alien Boy carves a unique path where each track leaves a lasting impression. FFO: Joyce Manor, PUP & Tigers Jaw

Tracey Nelson (Indie Folk/Americana - New York, USA)

Tracey Nelson, a troubadour of problem songs signed to K Recs, moves against the current with direct and straightforward songwriting. Inheriting a name he carries like a talisman (that of his mother), he transforms memories, relics, and fragments of life into sensitive narratives, between folk and everyday poetry. Fun fact: his album was recorded by the musicians from Wednesday. FFO: Kevin Morby, Wilco & Neil Young

Lawn Chair (Indie Post-Punk - Berlin, DEU)

Lawn Chair, who supported Sleaford Mods, Primal Scream, and Getdown Services in England, injects a punk and experimental pop energy, guided by the lyrics
