Entry Requirements: 18+

Canned Pineapple are a 5-piece scuzz pop outfit based in the UK.

The quintet consists of songwriters Seán Drury and Oakley Gardiner alongside guitarchitect prodigy Gabe Rice, sex cymbal Charlie Pringle and sub surfer Sam Cullen.

A band of brothers waggin’ out; Canned Pineapple is the result of interplanetary telekinesis between the great beyond and the great norm.

Over the last 3 years, the band have toured relentlessly worldwide. In 2024 they played their biggest shows ever hitting venues and festivals across the UK, US, and EU playing alongside timeless acts such as LCD Soundsystem, The National, and The Last Dinner Party.

With their second EP: ‘Big Break’ (out digitally and on vinyl March 21st 2025) the band are bringing more energy to the songs and to the stage than ever.

Canned Pineapple’s music found its way onto the airwaves with frequent plays on BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X and BBC Sussex and Surrey while also having started 2025 with their second BBC Introducing Live Lounge. With praise from magazines such as Dork, So Young, and Clash, BBC Introducing have claimed their fan engagement to be “off the scale”.

Taste of Cherry is a 5 piece Stage Gaze rock band from London, blending garage rock, punk and kraut rock. They create a sound that balances chaos and control; riff heavy and cinematic while being dancable. There music explores themes of disillusionment, estrangement and abandonment through the lens of a washed up character amongst a seedy backdrop. Taste of cherry are for fans of bands such as Fat White Family, Crack Cloud, Parquet Courts and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
