HER NAME IS CALLA HNIC is absolutely one of the most important bands in the UK experimental rock scene. Combining stunning post-rock with soulful folk and varied instrumentation, their sound is both charming and mesmerising. For Fans Of: Maybeshewill, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Radiohead "HNIC smash the compass that flickers between rage and timid frustration and become conquerors of all" (NME)

THEO
An unstoppable one-man-math-and-post-rock machine, Theo is absolutely one of our favourite acts in the world. It's a joy to be able to welcome him back to Portals after his last performance at Portals II back in November 2015 which blew everyone's socks off. FFO: Brontide, Russian Circles, Mogwai
