LINEUP
$ABODI
Ollie Cronk (born 2003), professionally known as $ABODI, is a Bristol-based rapper and one of the city’s most innovative rappers. With over 1 million streams and shows across the UK, he has built a strong reputation for high-energy, innovative live performances.
In 2024, $ABODI headlined Motion Bristol to over 2,000 people, supported Krept & Konan and Deno, and raised more than £5,000 for charity through multiple headline shows. He has sold out three self-promoted shows at Exchange Bristol, delivered sold-out London shows at Dalston Den and Signature Brew, and performed at major festivals including Glastonbury, Loves Saves, Forwards, Shambala, Boomtown & Shindig.
TwoTone are West London’s rising R&B girl duo, made up of best friends Ruby and Dara, both just 19. Formed at the iconic BRIT School, the pair are already drawing comparisons to Brandy & Monica and modern acts like FLO, thanks to their soulful vocals, natural chemistry, and distinctly UK sound.
Their debut single ‘Jordans’, co-written, produced, and mixed by Frank Nobel (2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, Kamille, JADE), blends classic soul with sharp contemporary R&B and has earned strong support from DJ Target, BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, Kiss FM, and Reprezent. Following standout performances, including DJ AG’s viral livestream and an invitation to his Defected showcase, Two Tone is gearing up for a major year ahead.
Wesri is a Leicester-born singer/songwriter who blends acoustic guitars with soulful, indie textures to tell stories about what it feels like to be a young person in Britain navigating love, social pressure, and self-discovery.
Influenced by storytellers such as Santan Dave, Khalid, and Giveon, his music pairs emotive lyricism with warm, atmospheric production, sliding fluidly between indie folk, soul, and bedroom pop.
As he continues to refine his craft, Wesri is carving out a lane marked by authenticity, vulnerability, and a genuine desire to connect.
