LOS BITCHOS: FUTURE NOW ’25
+ LIME GARDEN + MANDRAKE HANDSHAKE + YUMI AND THE WEATHERFuture Now returns home for 2025 with three separate shows at Future Yard across Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th August, once again bringing the future of music to the Left Bank on August Bank Holiday.
Los Bitchos headline the outdoor FY Garden Stage on Saturday 23rd August, a pan-global instrumental collective tripping out on Tequila and sun-kissed Cumbia vibes, and also curate the day’s line-up, featuring Lime Garden, Mandrake Handshake + Yumi and the Weather (more still tba!), for a day of blissed-out indie, pysch and alt-pop under the blazing Birko sun.
Individual day tickets available now. A limited number of reduced price ticket bundles for Saturday and Friday’s Future Now Opening Night are also available.
Made up of lead guitarist Serra, who carries both Australian and Turkish heritage, Uruguayan synth and keytar player Agustina Ruiz, Swedish bassist Josefine Jonsson and British drummer Nic Crawshaw, Los Bitchos are united by a commitment to having fun. It’s a contagious energy they’ve had no problem transmitting to the world since the band officially arrived in 2019.
If electrifying 2022 debut album Let the Festivities Begin! was the rowdy build up to the big night out, then 2024’s follow-up ‘Talkie Talkie’ is the Technicolor explosion of the dancefloor. The London-based quartet’s most recent album is glistening with charisma, sonic experimentation and a puckish spirit. Named after a fictional club of the same name Talkie Talkie is a late-night paradise brimming with freedom and possibility; a place where partygoers can escape reality in the dance or daydream along to the invigorating soundscapes.
