Paint By Numbers has announced its full line-up ahead the festival launching next month.
Genre defiant Grandmas House complete the inaugural edition of Paint By Numbers. Inspired by a range of icons from IDLES and The Raincoats to boygenius and Nirvana; the Bristol four-piece refuse to be pigeon-holed and continuously strive to shake up perceptions with their intelligent, stylish and raucous take on rock music. With a truly memorable live show, they head to Paint By Numbers off the back of an incredible run of headline shows across the UK.
On the cusp of their highly-anticipated second record, Vona Vella will bring their wistful indie-pop harmonies and dream-pop melodies to Thekla and The Bodega this December. The band have opened for the likes of The Libertines, The Charlatans and Morcheeba, and their track ‘Carnival’ features on the hugely successful NBA2K 26 video game.
They join Cheshire-formed, Manchester-based outfit Déjà Vega, whose latest single, ‘Can’t Wait For Another Life’, has just been premiered by Chirs Hawkins on BBC Radio 6 Music. Their blend of psychedelia, rock and synth soundscapes has been celebrated at Bearded Theory, Shiine On Weekender, Dot To Dot and many more stages.
Inspired by the likes of American Football, Big Thief and Title Fight, London quartet Tooth join the line-up following an incredible rise across 2025. Hotly tipped as one of Abbie McCarthy’s Ones To Watch 2026, the band are fresh from gracing stages at the likes of Live At Leeds, Tenement Trail, Swn Festival and more.
Completing the line-up are previously announced headliners porij, as well as Bloodworm, My First Time, Just For Fun, Sandhouse, Marvin’s Revenge and M/X.
