BBC Radio 1 has revealed Radio 1’s New Music Live — a thrilling live music event set to take place at Tramshed, a renowned independent venue in the heart of Cardiff, on Wednesday 24 September.
Presented by Jack Saunders, Daniel P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Sian Eleri, the event will spotlight a rich mix of musical talent, uniting four standout bands for an electrifying night of performances.
The Line-Up:
Florence Road
An all-female indie pop group from Ireland, celebrated for their powerful lyricism and heartfelt sound. With high-profile fans like Olivia Rodrigo and Beabadoobee, their debut mixtape Fall Back comes on the heels of a breakout year filled with sold-out shows across the UK and Ireland. They’ve received strong support on Radio 1, including airplay on New Music Show with Jack Saunders, Next Wave on Future Artists with Sian Eleri, and a BBC Introducing Tune of the Week for their track "Caterpillar".
JOOLS
This post-punk band from Leicester is known for their intense live presence and raw, emotional music. Their blend of gritty vocals and aggressive instrumentation has earned them a place across multiple Radio 1 shows including BBC Introducing Rock, The Indie Show with Alyx Holcombe, The Rock Show with Daniel P Carter, and Future Artists with Sian Eleri.
KEO
A four-piece rising from London’s alternative scene, KEO has drawn attention for their poetic lyrics and stirring live sets. Led by 21-year-old Finn Keogh, their debut EP Siren delves into youth, healing, and inner turmoil with bold honesty. Their growing profile includes features on Next Wave and support from Jack Saunders on New Music Show.
Panic Shack
Hailing from Cardiff, this all-female punk-inspired group brings a playful, high-energy sound fused with punchy lyrics and bold humour. Their debut album offers catchy melodies and real-life reflections, continuing their rise from local favourites to national attention. Regular champions include Alyx Holcombe’s Indie Show, Daniel P Carter’s Rock Show, and Sian Eleri’s Future Artists.
