THE ALLERGIES
Feast your eyes and ears on our headline artist, The Allergies – described as “totally exhilarating hip-hop funk” (Rolling Stone magazine).
Fronted by DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat, The Allergies have a never-ending knack for turning out soul-sampling bangers and deep, infectious grooves.
The duo, who have toured their dynamite live show globally, including at leading UK festivals including Glastonbury and Shambala, will be joined on stage by an incredible team of musical collaborators across saxophone, percussion, vocals (from Marietta Smith) and the one and only LA rap legend Andy Cooper.
THE HEMPOLICS
Fusing Reggae, Dub, Soul and Hip Hop, The Hempolics are out to put those organic vibes back into music, with their bumping soundsystem bass and real rootsy sound all of their own. Having recently supported legendary reggae outfit Toots and the Maytails in Camden, London they appear in Cleethorpes as part of their anticipated 2026 UK tour. Guaranteed to bring the sunshine!

Hailing from London, this hybrid-jazz quartet will be bringing their genre-blurring sound to Cleethorpes. Utilising a unique approach to computer-based performance, Zeñel create a ‘poetic’ combination of jazz improvisation and electronic music, making for a diverse and interesting live set across production styles including grime, UK drill, afrobeat and future bass.
RST Collective
Rhythm Speaks Truth (RST Collective) is an Afrobeat orchestra from the Midlands, inspired by the radical energy and enduring legacy of Fela Kuti. Built on deep polyrhythms, driving basslines, and a powerful horn section, their sound is both celebratory and uncompromising.
Emerging at a time when common ground can feel harder to find, the band draws on Afrobeat’s roots in protest and unity - using rhythm as a tool to cut through the static and bring people together. There’s power in the rhythm, but also joy: a shared musical space that reminds us we are more connected than we are different.
