For two scorching days, Southampton brought the biggest, baddest and best of the emerging live music scene, with sets from Dead Dads Club, Squid and The Horrors.

In celebration of their highly anticipated 2025 album, Cowards, Squid delivered a performance that showcased their signature intensity and boundary-pushing sound. 

Saturday’s Dot to Dot festival in Bristol was brimming with pure, unforgettable talent — including ones we weren’t able to catch.
