Prepare for a mind-expanding journey as Mandrake Handshake bring their hypnotic, genre-blending sound to the festival this July. Hailing from Oxford, this collective of sonic adventurers fuses krautrock rhythms, funk-laden grooves, and tropicalia-inspired textures to create an electrifying and immersive live experience.

With a name inspired by both mystical folklore and the legendary Faust song, Mandrake Handshake are as enigmatic as they are exhilarating. Their music channels the motorik pulse of Can, the swirling psychedelia of Os Mutantes, and the euphoric energy of Primal Scream, while weaving in elements of jazz, shoegaze, and Afrobeat. The result? A cosmic, danceable sound that feels both timeless and entirely fresh.

Their live shows are nothing short of transcendental—a kaleidoscope of swirling guitars, pulsing percussion, and blissed-out vocals that pull audiences into a euphoric haze. Whether you’re a dedicated psych-rock fan or simply looking to lose yourself in the groove, Mandrake Handshake will take you on a ride like no other.

Don’t miss the chance to experience their spellbinding sound in the perfect festival setting. Get ready to dance, drift, and dive deep into their mesmerizing world.
