Late-night opening with Regina Collage + Stoop

Regina Collage is a Ukrainian artist based in Bristol. She has become a singular voice in the Ukrainian and UK experimental scenes, with music that sits between indie, alternative rock and sound experimentation. Sung in Ukrainian, her songs move between cloudy dissonance and stark minimal arrangements built around bass, fragments of guitar and an exposed voice. Her latest album, Horizont (2026, Do You Have Peace?), borrows its title from an image that runs through her work: a faraway line evoking distance and uncertainty. Collage's sound proudly displays its roots in the Ukrainian underground, a scene she continues to support and represent from abroad, while taking in ideas from her new home. 

On the same evening, Collage performs with Stoop, the experimental rock duo she formed with Bristol musician Cameron Smith. Born as an improvisational project, Stoop has gradually developed into a band with a full repertoire of songs, while keeping the spark of its beginnings. Their music draws on dubby post-punk, the repetitive pulse of krautrock and the layered sound of shoegaze: long, hypnotic grooves, a heavy low end and guitars that slowly thicken into saturated textures. Stoop reveals another side of Regina Collage's work, more rhythmic and expansive, shaped by the dialogue between two musicians. By bringing both projects together on one stage, the evening offers a broad view of promising young artists at the heart of the Ukrainian and UK underground scenes, moving between intimate songwriting and collective experimentation.
