Nottingham-based five-piece Vona Vella are on the cusp of album two (out in 2026 via Strap Originals) and with it the seed of their signature sound – wistful indie-pop harmonies, exquisitely blended male/female vocals – has not so much grown as erupted through the dream-pop meadow into a towering, flowering beanstalk. Their singles have caught the adoration of Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music and the title-track ‘Carnival’ is featured on the hugely successful NBA2K 26 video game. Vona Vella are constantly touring and have supported the likes of the Libertines, Babyshambles and Tim Burgess.
