London Calling is back on 15–16 May 2026 at Paradiso, with the first wave of acts announced. Eleven artists will play across the weekend, offering a mix of indie, alt-rock, punk, and psychedelic sounds.
Highlights include Toronto’s Clothesline From Hell and their 90s-tinged alt-pop, Perth trio Fool Nelson with grunge-inflected anthems, and Philadelphia’s Friendship with their dreamy country-rock. London four-piece Keo bring visceral indie rock, while Meltt weave psychedelic alt-rock and soaring vocals.
UK artists mustbejohn, overpass, Saint Clair, and Cardiff’s Panic Shack and Slate add indie, punk, and post-punk energy. Atlanta trio Sword II round out the first wave with raw, theatrical rock.
