Five Day Forecast 2026: BROOKI, jo from school, Liam Parsons

The Line of Best Fit returns with the twelfth edition of the Five Day Forecast, an annual festival showcasing the very best in new music.

Thursday is headlined by Dublin four-piece BROOKI, a project anchored around the powerful vocal of Sarah Brooks and hitting the same cinematic, intimate and tender spaces as Jeff Buckley with the explosive intensity of PJ Harvey. She’s joined by Chess Club signed Jo Geller – aka jo from school – who at 22-years-old is crafting devastatingly delivered songs with an air of maturity that lands far beyond her years. Australia-born and London-based singer-songwriter Liam Parsons – ex Good Morning and a member of Way Dynamic and Cool Sounds - completes the lineup with a sound he describes as "gay electronic heartland rock".

Since its launch in 2015, the Five Day Forecast has featured Mercury Music prize nominees Self Esteem, Jockstrap, Porridge Radio and Black Country New Road as well as early shows from the likes of Madra Salach, Pale Waves, Katy J Pearson, Squid, and debut UK performances from Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Gia Margaret, Faye Webster and more.
