Keyside

SJM Concerts Present  Keyside  plus support: Strata

KEYSIDE build their music from the unedited fabric of modern British life. Fronted by Dani-Lee Parker, whose voice carries equal measures of grit and grace, the Liverpool four-piece bring an emotional honesty to their work that resonates far beyond any one city. Their songs move between the weight of dependency and fractured relationships to the uncomplicated joy of a summer afternoon, grounded in the specific detail of lives actually lived. Their lyrics explore isolation, addiction, hope and redemption, turning everyday struggle into widescreen anthems. Tracks like Angeline, Michael (What’s Your Call?) and Runaway have marked them as natural songwriters, earning praise and support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Amazing Radio. Onstage, they've built a reputation for electrifying, heartfelt performances that connect deeply with audiences. Having closed 2025 with a sold-out debut UK headline tour including a homecoming at the 1,200-cap’ Liverpool O2 Academy, KEYSIDE arrive at 2026 at full tilt. The year’s first release, ‘Lemon & Lime’, is a sun-drenched anthem about the reckless joy of long nights and falling for someone in the middle of it all. Produced by Chris Taylor (The Coral, Blossoms) and featuring BAFTA-nominated actor Dylan Thomas-Smith in its video, the single lands as the band head into a summer of major UK festival appearances, including Sound City, Tramlines and Kendal Calling, and marks the opening chapter of what is set to be their biggest year yet. KEYSIDE are: Dani-Lee Parker (vocals, acoustic guitar), Ben Cassidy (lead guitar), Max Gibson (bass, backing vocals), Oisín McAvoy (drums)
