Matilda Shakes
The Spiel
Matilda Shakes: The High-Octane Pulse of Sheffield Indie Matilda Shakes are a indie rock juggernaut force emerging from the heart of Sheffield’s historic music scene. Defined by punchy, driven guitars, raucous riffs, and huge singalong choruses, the band creates a high-octane surge of adrenaline designed for sweat-soaked rooms and massive festival stages alike. In short, Matilda Shakes bring the moshpits and the mayhem. Their sound—a masterclass in modern indie that blends the swagger of early Arctic Monkeys with the stadium-ready drive of Kasabian—has already made a significant impact. Their songs have secured spots on the official F1 Tracks: Best of British playlist, while other tracks have been featured on the official Premier League media. Touring the UK in 2026, Matilda Shakes bring their gigantic live show to The Foundry’s main room for their biggest hometown show ever.
