Foarn, a Stoke-on-Trent indie and alt-rock band, headline The Sugarmill in a show presented by This Feeling.
Foarn headline The Sugarmill on Friday 4 December, presented by This Feeling. It's a hometown show for the five-piece, who've spent the last couple of years working their way up to this one.
They formed in late 2023, bringing together five musicians with deep roots in previous projects, and they describe themselves as a band shaped by their working-class identity here in Stoke. The sound they've landed on blends sharp indie guitars, atmospheric alt-rock textures and emotionally charged vocals. It's a mix that sits somewhere between the immediate energy of a guitar band and the more expansive, moodier side of alt-rock.
There's a decent bit of material to draw from for the set. They released a self-titled debut EP in August 2025, which included the singles Wild Skies, Games and Lights, all recorded at Whitewood Studios in Liverpool. Since then, they've added two more singles in 2026, The Weather and Hideaway, so the set should pull from both the early EP and the newer stuff. The line-up is Levi Knapper on vocals, Alex Grocock and James Perry on guitars, Nathan Petherick on bass and Ash Clay on drums.

They've spent a good deal of the last year on the road, selling out hometown headline shows and playing a packed summer festival run across LOOP, Foundry, Home Farm and the Isle of Wight Festival on the This Feeling stage. This is another one of those hometown dates, with doors opening at 19:00 and tickets at £12.
