IVW26 Indie Club Night With Absolutely Anytime, Sneaky Feelings and More.

Kernow roots, UK future: Absolutely Anytime headline Indie Club Night for IVW 2026, joined by The Sneaky Feelings with more to be announced.

Independent Venue Week is about roots, risk-taking and scenes that grow from the ground up — and the Indie Club Night for IVW 2026 lands right in that sweet spot. This year’s lineup isn’t just a collection of exciting bands; it’s a snapshot of a creative pipeline that runs straight through Truro College, out into the wider UK underground, and back again to the kind of rooms where it all started.

Headlining the night are Absolutely Anytime, a band formed by Truro local heroes Sam Stone and Redley Flowerdew — best known to many as members of The Rezner and alumni of the Truro College Music Department. What started as a shared musical language in Cornwall has evolved into one of the most talked-about live acts on the circuit right now. Absolutely Anytime have built a reputation on shows that are joyous, chaotic and totally immersive, packed with big choruses and an anything-can-happen energy that turns venues into their own technicolour worlds. Since emerging in 2024 they’ve sold out multiple London headline shows and taken their live reputation across the UK and Europe, from sweat-box venues to major festival stages, leaving no doubt they’re a perfect fit to front an Independent Venue Week bill.

Main support comes from The Sneaky Feelings, formed by Cornwall natives Holly Casserly and Louie Waters, and another standout example of Truro College alumni making waves beyond the county. Now based in Bristol, The Sneaky Feelings are fast earning a reputation for incendiary, unpredictable live performances — none more memorable than Holly’s explosive turn supporting The Velvet Hands at IVW 2025’s Indie Club Night. Fierce, charismatic and unapologetically raw, they bring an edge to the bill that keeps things thrillingly unpolished.

Further acts will be added to the bill in due course.

This lineup captures exactly what Independent Venue Week exists to celebrate: artists who’ve grown through education, community and the grassroots circuit, and who continue to value the venues that gave them their first real platforms. Indie Club Night 2026 isn’t just a showcase — it’s a homecoming, a proving ground, and a reminder that some of the most exciting music in the UK still starts in rooms like this.
