Courteeners
Manchester's Courteeners both look and sound as though they've come straight out of another time and place, and yet, somehow, are bang up to date. Think Babyshambles meets The Smiths and you'll be somewhere close to their gritty, electrifying sound. The band, who have been friends since childhood, have grown into one of the UK’s premier guitar bands delivering such era-defining anthems as ‘Not Nineteen Forever’, ‘Are You in Love with a Notion’, ‘How Good It Was’, ‘The 17th’ and last year’s ‘Hanging Off Your Cloud’.

Fatboy Slim
English DJ and electronic music producer Norman Quentin Cook was a pioneer of the '90s big beat movement, issuing a handful of era-hits like The Rockafeller Skank and Praise You under the moniker Fatboy Slim. Formerly the bassist for the Housemartins and one-third of acid house hitmakers Pizzaman, Cook started by releasing his Fatboy material through club staple Skint, with his raucous blend of house, acid, funk, hip-hop, electro, and techno adding to his already formidable reputation as one of the foremost all-around producers on the UK club scene. More than two decades on, he's still one of the biggest DJs in the world.

The Prodigy
One of the biggest innovators in commercial dance music since 1990, musical genius Liam Howlett and his colleagues were at the forefront of the rave explosion ('Experience'), early techno/trance/dance crossovers ('Jilted Generation') and rap/punk,techno fusion ('Fat Of the Land'). The Prodigy always cut a solitary path through the noise-scapes of electronic dance music, releasing epoch defining studio albums and delivering unforgettable live performances that have taken electronic beats into unchartered territories. Throughout this time they remained resolutely focused on their own vision, inspiring legions of artists along the way. Frontman, Keith Flint, sadly died in March 2019 at the age of 49.

Kaiser Chiefs
Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the leading bands of their generation. The infectious enthusiasm of their music and the unique viewpoint of their lyrics has seen them compared to Franz Ferdinand, Blur, The Clash, and Madness, but their passionately dedicated fans know that this band are true originals, confirmed by the fact they're still going strong two decades on.

The Wombats
Ever since Murph, bassist Tord Øverland Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis – who met and formed The Wombats at the Liverpool Institute Of Performing Arts in 2003 - emerged in 2006 and swiftly became chart-quashing champions of the noughties guitar pop explosion with hits including ‘Moving To New York’, ‘Kill The Director’ and ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’, they’ve barely looked back. The euphoric tales of romantic misadventures in cinemas, forests, weddings and rock clubs that filled their platinum-selling 2007 debut album ‘A Guide To Love, Loss & Desperation’ garnered them a strong and dedicated fanbase in thrall to Murph’s amalgam of irrepressible hooks and downbeat tragi-comic lyricism and with such bare-hearted emotional depth to their ditties, The Wombats resolutely refuse to be a flash in the pan.

Travis
Veterans of the UK indie pop scene who led the way for bands like Coldplay. Fran Healy and the boys hit the big time with their award winning multi-million selling 1999 album 'The Man Who...', containing the hits including Driftwood and Why Does It Always Rain On Me and have continued to release new material throughout the Noughties.
