HELLO FRIENDS!
Welcome to the first edition of Undercard, our new weekly music roundup, featuring the best new releases from this year’s artists and beyond.
Music discovery has always been at the heart of what we do at EOTR so we’re flipping the lineup on its head and shining a light on the artists further down the bill.
While we’ll focus on the headliners of tomorrow, we’ll still feature the latest from the headliners of today too; you’ll just have to scroll down to see them.

⇢ Massive congrats to British composer Daniel Blumberg who played EOTR 2018 (and whose former band Yuck played in 2010) – he won the Best Original Score Oscar for The Brutalist at last weekend’s Academy Awards.
⇢ The Last Dinner Party, who played EOTR in 2023, won Best New Artist at the The BRIT Awards and shouted out independent venues when they collected it, calling them “the lifeblood of the music industry”. We couldn’t agree more.
⇢ Fontaines D.C. (EOTR 2019) won Best International Group at this year’s ceremony and shouted out Amyl and the Sniffers, who were on our 2018 bill.
⇢ Alabaster DePlume, who played last year’s festival, has a new record called A Blade Because a Blade Is Whole out today on International Anthem and it’s receiving glowing reviews
