CAT BURNS
Cat Burns is a rising British singer-songwriter known for her honest lyrics and soulful voice. Originally from South London, she blends acoustic pop with R&B and gospel influences, often writing songs that reflect her personal experiences with love, identity, and mental health. Her breakthrough came when her song “Go” went viral on TikTok, leading to mainstream success and chart recognition in the UK. Cat’s music resonates especially with young listeners for its raw, emotional storytelling and minimalist, guitar-led production. She is also known for being openly queer and neurodivergent, which has helped her build a deeply loyal fanbase that values representation and vulnerability in music.

PROBLEM PATTERNS
Since their start in 2018, Problem Patterns have become leading figures in Belfast’s emerging music scene. Proudly left-wing punks and even prouder members of the queer community, their values are reflected in tracks like “TERFs Out,” “Mediocre Man,” and “Lesbo 3000”- some of which appear on their delightful 2023 debut studio album Blouse Club, a follow-up to their 2019 debut EP Good for You, Aren’t You Great. Their latest single, “Sad Old Women,” was released in May 2025.
If one had to sum up their sound, you might describe them as the cousins of Chappell Roan, with Joan Jett as their mother, all while maintaining a sound that is entirely their own. In their seven years together, they’ve played up and down the island of Ireland and are now at the forefront of the current Irish invasion sweeping through the UK indie scene, with appearances on BBC Radio and a UK-wide tour currently underway.
They’re here, they’re queer- and they’re a joy to listen to.

GRETA VAN FLEET
Following his coming out in 2023, Josh and Greta Van Fleet have paved a space for queer folks in modern rock and roll. Their song, "Light My Love," alludes to queer love, and during live performances, it displays a beautiful halo of rainbows around the venue. Since coming out, Josh hasn't been afraid to flaunt what he's got and ensure that he's created a community in which everyone feels safe.

RENEE RAPP
Reneé Rapp is a rising pop star known for her powerful vocals and emotionally rich songwriting. Her music blends openness with strength, often touching on love, identity, and self-acceptance. Iv’e been a fan of her for such a long time and she has inspired me so much as a queer artist because she's always been authentic, she is the reason I felt comfortable and confident in my sexuality and to even come outI love her and all of her music but in the kitchen, bruises and gemini moon are some of my all time favourites.
