SON Estrella Galicia’s flagship event Soundhood Hackney returns for 2025 on September 27th with more artists and venues than ever. Headlined by Folly Group, Courting, and Gurriers, the festival also sees them return to their roots with two Spanish artists in Yawners, Amor Líquido, alongside Welsh act MORN.

From 5pm onwards Soundhood will take place across three iconic Hackney venues in Paper Dress Vintage, Sebright Arms, and Oslo. Alongside the live music, DJ sets, and showcases there will be two limited and exclusive innovative experiences combining the worlds of music and beer - ‘Beer Backstage’ (Sebright Arms - 5.45pm) and ‘Beer & Beats’ (Paper Dress Vintage - 7.00pm).

SON Estrella Galicia is the musical arm of the family owned, independent Estrella Galicia beer brand specialising in creating unforgettable music and beer experiences since 2009. For three years they have been supporting independent venues and artists around Hackney, with 2025 set to see their biggest expansion yet - Soundhood Hackney 2025 follows the debut event at Sebright Arms and May’s team-up with Oslo, Hackney featuring Big Special, as part of a Dot To Dot festival warm-up.

Inspired by timeless first records by The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, The Chemical Brothers, and Black Midi, Gurriers' first album is no ordinary debut, but an exhilarating statement of intent by five people fed up with tiptoeing around the chaos. Come and see for yourself at Oslo.

Performing with them is MORN - a striking new presence emerging from the farmlands of Monmouth, South Wales. Two sets of siblings crafting a compelling blend of what they refer to as “doom over beautiful chords.” Announcing their arrival with the breathless, runaway train chaoticism of ‘Modern Man’, MORN weave spiky guitar passages and rumbling fuzz, with an urgency that feels as though they can’t get to the end of the song fast enough.

Indie rabble-rousers Courting's most recent album Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’ is an album full of dualities, contrasts and contradictions. It contains some of the most straight-up pop music the band have ever made, but it’s also arguably their most experimental work to date. It is fun and silly, peppered with in-jokes, references, and easter eggs, but it is detailed - the Liverpool-based band play at Paper Dress Vintage.

Amor Líquido borders on the defiant extreme within pop: they are the champion of art-punk in Spanish, the most outspoken generational band in their scene and the one with the freshest and most visceral message. Sara (vocals), Eva (drums, backing vocals), Peral (guitar, backing vocals) and Gaby (bass) don't mince words: they have turned Z's problems into their own biographical and even tender discourse.

Due on stage at Sebright Arms, Folly Group is the sum of drums, percussion, bass, guitar, vocals and a sampler. Elsewhere, Folly Group is an amorphous creative entity, encompassing a group of friends whose practice spans various disciplines. Its members have all played with each other in various projects over the last three years, now Folly Group is a way to mess with form, structure and signifiers.

Fusing pop punk and indie rock with the energy of the 90s, Yawners, the project of composer and guitarist Elena Nieto was formed in 2015. Influenced by bands like Weezer, Pavement, and The Breeders, the artist signed to labels such as Big Scary Monsters (UK), Counter Intuitive Records (USA), Inpartmaint Inc. (Japan), and Montgrí (Spain). To date, YAWNERS has not only toured Spain, Europe, and the US, but has also featured on festival lines such as SXSW, Eurosonic, BBK, Madcool, Primavera Sound, FIB, and Tomavistas, accruing more than 180 shows.

Since 2009, SON Estrella Galicia has created events that offer a twist on the traditional concert experience in Spain, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico, Uruguay and the US. First coming to the UK in 2022 they have since established themselves as a key fixture on the gig calendar. Soundhood Hackney 2025 is the flagship event in the UK calendar.

A ticket allows 100% access to all sets at Oslo and full access to sets at Sebright Arms and Paper Dress Vintage until the venue reaches capacity.
