TGBB Festival 2026: Jour 1

The third edition of the They’re Gonna Be Big Festival brings a curated lineup of indie and alternative acts from around the world to SUPERSONIC in Paris’s 12th arrondissement. The evening showcases seven artists spanning art rock, post-punk, indie folk, and shoegaze, creating a diverse sonic journey from Manchester to Portland, Berlin to London.

Attendees can expect sets from MLEKO, a Manchester septet blending post-punk with progressive noise; Date Camp, whose krautrock-infused indie rock offers tension and contemplation; and Alien Boy, a Portland group delivering emotionally charged indie rock with punk roots. The lineup also includes Tracey Nelson’s introspective indie folk, Lawn Chair’s experimental punk-pop, Al Cologne’s diarist indie pop, and mry’s melancholic shoegaze. The festival’s name promises big things, and this edition delivers a cross-section of the global indie scene.
