Hayden Pedigo creates expansive acoustic guitar music inspired by the vastness of the Texan landscape. Hailing from Amarillo, Texas, his gently picked guitar compositions seek the feeling of infinity he gets when he looks out across the horizon, always with “a glowing emotional core.”

Mabe Fratti makes music that doesn’t really sound like anything else. You can hear echoes of formal classical music in her compositions, but they’re twisted into angular new shapes, settling on the boundaries of jazz, hinting at the outer edges of pop, even feinting in the direction of post-rock

You’ll find everything from vintage clothing to print designers at EOTR, but we’re always on the lookout for new and interesting vendors. So if you think you’ve got something to offer, let us know: endoftheroadfestival.com/trading/

Known as the Hendrix of the Sahara, Vieux Farka Touré is more than just a virtuoso guitarist: he’s also a melder of sounds with an instinct for celebratory vibes. His sound fuses blues with a Latin slant, pulls from his own West African roots and pays homage to his dad, Ali Farka Touré.

Our pals 13th Floor Coffee (one of Time Out London's best places to get coffee) are looking for a Coffee Pitches Manager to run 3x pitches at #EOTR2025. If you think this is you (and you’re also a very experienced speciality barista) we’d love to hear from you: endoftheroadfestival.com/working/

@theorchestrafornow.bsky.social released brilliantly frenetic new single The Strip today, lifted from Plan 75, their debut EP, which comes out March 28th found.ee/otUIqf

Christopher Owens has been through it – cults, addiction, a motorbike crash, homelessness and the death of his Girls bandmate – but his 2024 album I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair buzzes with hope, his fragile vocals and fuzzy, warm guitar tone as beautiful as they are raw.

Fancy becoming part of the #EOTR2025 team? We’ve opened applications for steward volunteering at this year’s festival. Apply here: endoftheroadfestival.com/stewarding/

There may be no punks funnier than Viagra Boys (@viagraboys.bsky.social) – see “Sports”, on which they critique hypermasculinity and also name different kinds of balls – but their satire is used only for good. Absurd, hilarious noise with grit that radiates energy and lights a fire in your belly.

We’re looking for Artist Liaison staff, who will be at the heart of ensuring #EOTR2025 artists and their teams have a smooth and welcoming experience. Plus, applications are now open for staff for our on-site merch tent. Find out more and apply: endoftheroadfestival.com/working/

Peruvian DJ and producer Sofia Kourtesis blends house music with ambient textures to create tracks that are both hugely danceable and full of feels. Her debut album Madres (2023) is brimming with infectious hooks and a joie de vivre that means any tears on the dancefloor are the happiest kind.

Bristol-based Katy J Pearson has long been a favourite of the British indie scene. Her 2024 album Someday, Now saw Katy working with Bullion to bring more synthetic sounds like chopped-up vocals and electronic flourishes into her music, adding a new palette to her intimate songwriting.

We're on the lookout for fun, interactive and well-crafted outdoor art installations to capture imaginations across the festival site, as well as interactive craft workshops to take place in our Woodland Workshop. For more info and to apply: endoftheroadfestival.com/art-installa...

Frontman of The National Matt Berninger makes his debut at EOTR this year, building on his 2020 solo debut Serpentine Prison which became, for many, the sound of a strange, locked-down year. Read more: endoftheroadfestival.com/artist/matt-...
