Aesthetica Film Festival's New Music Stage returns to York Theatre Royal on 7 November with 10 emerging artists.

Aesthetica Film Festival's New Music Stage will take place at York Theatre Royal on Saturday, 7 November, presenting 10 emerging British and Irish artists. The event is part of the festival's Music at Aesthetica programme and returns for its second year.

The line-up spans multiple genres including indie, electronic, hip hop, R&B and experimental music. Performers include Other People's Leisure, who blend live hardware, vocals and immersive visuals to create atmospheric indie-electronic soundscapes; Dublin's WineMom, known for their 'Nostalgia Rock'; and PH, who offers globally influenced hip hop. Roe delivers vulnerable songwriting informed by festival experiences such as Glastonbury, while Katherine Aly presents boundary-pushing alt-pop that fuses music, storytelling and visual identity.

The showcase also features cinematic dark-pop artist Circe, indie rock band Caro, LFay (whose sound draws from hip hop, neo-soul, jungle and rave culture), Chisara (combining Afro-art-pop with theatre and dance elements) and Manchester-based Lepani (blending alternative pop, R&B and soul).

Cherie Federico, founder and director of Aesthetica, said the New Music Stage 'creates an opportunity to build connections between emerging musicians, filmmakers and the industry, with discovery and collaboration at its heart'. The event will include panels and masterclasses alongside the live performances.
