Leonian Dream – Red Water Lily Tour + Fools Arcade and Vanity Project

The five-piece indie rock band from Axminster are making waves with their mix of dreamy soundscapes and grungy energy.

Drawing influence from the likes of Wolf Alice, Annie Hamilton, and the DMA’s, Leonian Dream’s music drifts between shimmering synth textures and raw guitar riffs – always landing somewhere between the intimate and energetic.

Formed in 2021, Swiss singer songwriter Leonie Prater and Black Country-born guitarist Thomas Rogers each bring their own unique flair and background to the band. Their self-titled debut EP dropped in 2025 and was championed by BBC Introducing, Radio X, Amazing Radio and Future Hits. It kicked off a busy summer of festival shows that put them firmly on the map.

With keys and synths adding a cosmic edge to their guitar-driven sound, Leonian Dream are carving out their own space in the indie scene – dreamy, loud, and impossible to ignore.

 

+ Fools Arcade 

Known for combining driving rhythms, catchy hooks and heartfelt lyrics and with influences from indie pop and alternative rock, Fools Arcade’s songs capture themes of connection, escapism and the moments that make everyday life memorable. On stage they bring energy, warmth and a genuine sense of fun, retaining the tight sound of their recordings while adding personality and spontaneity live.

 

+ Vanity Project

Devon-based Vanity Project was formed in 2024 by siblings Digory and Nelly Nash.

Taking friend George as their singer, they quickly added Rosa on rhythm and finally after much searching found Alfie for drums. They have a wide range of styles taking inspiration from every rock and music genre, favourites being the Stones, AC/DC and Oasis with an added layer of Riot Girl, metal and punk thrown in.
