8:30PM THE STONE JETS


Bio
Stone Jets are a London-based band from South Africa. They’ve played five Glastonbury sets, supported James Morrison for 8,000 people, and shared stages with Hugh Masekela and Sugababes. Bassist and vocalist Given and guitarist Manfred draw on their Cape Town roots, shaping the band’s sound and live presence.

Their music is soulful, melodic, and emotionally driven, rooted in folk, blues, and classic songwriting. Live, they’re fully locked in — energetic, musical, and communal — pulling the room into the songs rather than performing at it.

9:30PM INGE LAMBOO


Truth is stranger than fiction. What Inge Lamboo experiences in her career is unbelievable. It’s the sum of musical talent and courage that allows her to have the legendary Pete Townshend, guitarist of The Who, as a guest musician on her V2-label debut, This Is How
The Future Sounds. Her story reads like an exciting young adult novel. Inge Lamboo is a true daredevil. She doesn’t shy away from a challenge. When she has an idea, she tackles it in the most adventurous way possible. And yes, sometimes that leads
her to the right people in the music industry. This is the case when, as an emerging artist, she posts P!NK covers on her fan account. Her idol notices, drops her name at Sony, and the ball starts rolling. This leads to her debut album Black Heart in 2023. It can get even
crazier than this. In addition to the covers, she has another specialty: mashups. For those unfamiliar with the concept: these are two well-known songs merged into one. At one point, Inge gets the idea
to perform Do I Wanna Know by Arctic Monkeys in the style of The Chain by Fleetwood Mac. Just think about that. She plays it on an “old, worn-out 12-string guitar” that she rescued from drowning on a boat in Volendam. When she posts it on TikTok, 800,000 people see it, including Lindsey Buckingham, former guitarist of Fleetwood Mac and composer. He responds enthusiastically. This achievement is soon to be outdone. What happens next? As an ambassador for Pride in Amsterdam, she writes the anthem Like A Phoenix, which she creates with cameraman Joost Elffers, featuring the striking video
with the burning guitar. She performs the song on Leo Blokhuis’ NPO Radio 2 show in the summer of 2024. As an encore, she performs her famous mashup solo on guitar. She posts a snippet of this on Instagram and TikTok, and the rest, as they say, is history. The counter now stands at 4.6 million views on Instagram and 684 thousand on TikTok. That’s not all. Master guitarist Pete Townshend from The Who also became a fan. He sends a private message: “You’re really good. Looking forward to more.” Then come the sleepless nights. “Do I dare ask him to play on my new album?” she
constantly wonders. “I spent two weeks thinking about it.” She gathers her courage and sends a message with her most indie song, Call Out Your Name. Two weeks later, Townshend responds with his contribution, a blazing guitar solo that he has patented. The windmill-like arm gestures from his heyday are something the listener can imagine. “His playing is very recognizable, rhythmic, and full of attitude,” she says. She solos just as fiercely alongside him. Pete is on the left, and Inge is on the right. She also points out
the Morse code he hides in his guitar playing. The track is produced by Jan Schröder. But Inge is also the producer for several tracks on
her new album, such as Higher, Bleed, and Two Empty Eyes, including the handclaps she collected from her fans for that song. Believe it or not, she produces using a tablet with the GarageBand program. And not even an updated version—just an old one. Nothing is too crazy for her. She simply does it, and the results speak for themselves. Her alt-pop album This Is How The Future Sounds shows that a glorious future awaits her.
