The Red Line are a five-piece alternative rock band hailing from Derby. Formed in August 2025, they’ve wasted no time — releasing four singles, all of which have been featured and championed by BBC Introducing.

Taking inspiration from Keo, Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, and Royal Blood, they’ve shaped those influences into something distinctively their own — a sound that’s turning heads fast.

Just six months after forming, they were shortlisted for Y Not Festival 2026. Their very first show outside Derby sold out, and they’re quickly earning a reputation as one of the area’s brightest new rock acts.
