Parker Fans + The Herons + Thrush

A three-act bill of pop, rock and indie: Dutch trio Parker Fans, Franco-Anglo-Uzbek punk trio The Herons and six-piece Thrush from Fife, appearing at Sneaky Pete's in Scotland.

Parker Fans are a Dutch trio whose boisterous pop rests on drum samples, synths and groovy bass, shuffling between styles with the spirit of a cassette mixtape. Their songs aim to get audiences dancing, and they have played festivals including Best Kept Secret, Left of the Dial, Into The Great Wide Open and Eurosonic. They have also opened for Altin Gün, Pip Blom and Jungle By Night.

The Herons are a Franco-Anglo-Uzbek punk trio whose high-energy songs cover subjects such as porridge, Indian food and love. Their live shows are described as chaotic, and they have sold out venues in London, Edinburgh and Paris, sharing bills with Witch Post and Spacestation. Opinions of their sound vary, with some listeners calling it hypnotic and absurdist.

Thrush are a six-piece from Fife, billed as Scotland's first post-Indyref band. Their songs are described as sweet, sensitive, weird and expansive, and their performances play across both stages and screens. They have supported Glasshouse, Red Spider Mite and Newbuild, and 2026 has been a breakout year for them. The bill is pitched at fans of Fcukers, Confidence Man, Adult DVD and Getdown Services. Sneaky Pete's is the Scottish venue hosting the night, which hosts concerts and shows.
