Luvcat – aka Liverpool-born singer-songwriter Sophie Morgan Howarth – first burst onto the scene with her sultry debut single Matador, introducing a theatrical world of romance, chaos, and rock’n’roll decadence.

Raised on a heady mix of Nick Cave, Cabaret, and The Cure, her sound blends gothic swagger with glammed-up allure, drawing from her own escapist tales of love, obsession, and misadventure.

In just a year, Luvcat has sold-out tours across the UK, Europe, and the US, gained more than 50 million streams and built a cult-like fanbase devoted to her signature style of lipstick, leopard print, and high-drama desire.

She has toured with The Last Dinner Party and Paris Paloma and supported Sabrina Carpenter at her huge BST Hyde Park gig last summer.

Luvcat’s debut album Vicious Delicious, saw her expand her mythology with a kaleidoscopic collection of tracks that swing between light and dark, kink and innocence. From the vaudevillian Dinner @ Brasserie Zedel to the murder ballad He’s My Man, every detail is laced with playful danger and cinematic flair.

Rolling Stone said “Luvcat’s irrepressible talent is utterly timeless” while NME instantly installed her as one of to watch as part of their 2026 Alumni.

Royel Otis – Otis Pavlovic and Royel Maddell – have quickly become one of the most talked-about new acts on the international stage. Their breakout debut album PRATTS & PAIN earned worldwide critical acclaim and racked up more than half a billion streams.

Their meteoric rise was propelled by a phenomenal cover of Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Murder On The Dancefloor last year, topping the US Alternative Airplay Chart, reaching Number 2 on Australia’s official singles chart and earning gold certification.

The momentum didn’t stop there – their soul-stirring cover of The Cranberries’ Linger took the internet by storm, topping global viral charts and amassing more than a billion TikTok views, 20 million YouTube plays and 100 million streams.
