    Cuco

    Do you like lush, synth-laden pop songs that sound like you're floating in a sun-dappled dream with your biggest crush? Well look no further than Mexican-American Cuco, the 20-year-old whose gorgeous tunes are making hearts everywhere swoon. A smooth and romantic artist whose summer-tinged vibes bring to mind the likes of Rex Orange County and Tyler, the Creator, Cuco looks set to gently rise and soar. We recommend you get to his set and get to know.

    Soccer Mommy

    With astoundingly deft guitar-lines and soft, sweet vocals, Sophie Allison aka Soccer Mommy is a master of entrancing lo-fi indie. Her lyrics teem with cool aloofness and besotted infatuation in equal measure and, off the back of highly acclaimed releases - last year's Collection, and her debut studio album, this year's Clean - this show from the Nashville-raised New York-based artist is sure to be unmissable.

    Octavian

    UK rap is in glorious shape right now, and one of the emerging artists that everyone is most excited about is London-based Octavian. With a co-sign from noneother than Drake (which, in 2018, is pretty much a guarantee of success), a dazzling new mixtape in his arsenal (with artwork from none other than Virgil Abloh), and a delicious way of flitting between trap-style bars and smooth crooning over feather-light production, this show should be as thrilling as Octavian's talent.
