The Reflectors are a good old-fashioned hard-working power-pop band from Los Angeles whose energetic punk urgency, melodic talents and busy touring schedule have won them a devoted underground following. Formed by James Carman, Nick Faciane, Ryan Miranda and Johnny Reyes – all of them former members of the group Images – channel the bright hooks and emotional lyricism of late-1970s acts such as The Nerves, The Undertones and The Buzzcocks.

Their 2020 debut album First Impression laid out their talent for punchy, hooky songwriting, and 2021's Faster Action and last year's Going Out of Fashion have refined their sound and brought the opportunity to tour more widely and develop an extremely tight live show. Dropkick play a support set at 8.30pm, and The Reflectors take to the stage at 9.45pm.
