Bowie Nights will launch King’s Cross Summer Sounds in Coal Drops Yard with headliners The Molotovs, with support from Ashaine White and Jack Kaye (formerly of The Magic Gang). The show will celebrate David Bowie’s impact on music today, with each act including a Bowie cover or two in their set.
Selling out venues worldwide, The Molotovs have become one of the UK’s hottest young bands. Expect sharp, punchy anthems delivered with highly charged stagecraft that leaves absolutely nothing in the dressing room and resonates with an eclectic audience of those in the know. Still in their teens, siblings Mathew and Issey Cartlidge have shared stages with the likes of The Libertines, Sex Pistols, Blondie, Iggy Pop and The Damned, as well as being championed by Green Day and Paul Weller both on stage and in the press.
Following a year of relentless touring, debut album Wasted on Youth hitting Number 3 in the charts, an unforgettable appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show and an arena tour with Yungblud, The Molotovs are set for a standout performance at Summer Sounds 2026.
Previously announced support acts
Support will be from Jack Kaye, the former frontman of The Magic Gang launching his solo career with debut single Dora alongside Ashaine White, a compelling and rebellious new voice in the UK music landscape.
