Silver Gore, She’s In Parties, Dog Race & Tough Cookie to headline DIY’s Hello 2026 live series

Right now, the tinsel is out and the Quality Streets are plentiful, so it’s not exactly surprising that few of us want to be thinking about the New Year blues just yet. But even when the time comes and January rolls around, never fear: DIY is here to help shake off the cobwebs and get us geared up for the ace year ahead.

We’ll once again be returning to the infamous confines of Shoreditch’s Old Blue Last for our Hello 2026 series, in which we’ll shine a spotlight on some of the most buzzy names in new music. Taking place every Tuesday night - much like it has every January for the last we-can’t-remember-how-long - we’ll be hosting incendiary live sets from 16 excellent acts; and you can be there, too. You just need to register your interest ahead of time via Dice and then get down early, as entry is on a first come, first served basis.

This year’s red hot roster of new talents includes dynamic, discordant quartet Tough Cookie, who’ll top the bill of Night One on 6th January, before the dreamy, shoegaze-tinged offerings of She’s In Parties will round out Night Two on the 13th. Kicking things up another notch for Night Three (on the 20th), we’ll be joined by Dog Race, before the series will come to a triumphant close thanks to Silver Gore, who’ll brew up a sonic storm for Night Four on 27th January. Scattered across the four-night residency will also be performances from the likes of ELLiS-D, Ninush, Y,Lover’s Skit, Tears At The Table, ashnymph and loads more.
