Headlining the night will be Irish post-punk powerhouse M(h)aol, whose fierce energy and uncompromising performances have made them one of the most vital live acts around. Following the May 2025 release of their acclaimed sophomore album Something Soft and a run of sold-out shows across Europe, M(h)aol bring their visceral blend of sharp lyricism and driving rhythm to The Lexington for what’s set to be an unmissable set.

Joining them are GANS, whose taut, propulsive sound and angular guitars have been turning heads across the UK’s underground circuit. With their explosive live shows and a string of electrifying singles, the band are fast becoming one of the most talked-about new names in UK guitar music.

Opening the night will be Maddie Ashman, a rising songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose microtonal melodies and heartfelt lyricism weave together experimental pop and ambient folk. Her intimate, mesmerising performances have made her one to watch for 2025.

As always, the team from Loud and Quiet will keep spirits high into the small hours with their legendary DJ set, spinning festive favourites and leftfield gems to round off the night in style.
