Future Nobodies (SXSW)

Head to Elysium for the official Future Nobodies gig at 705 Red River—a Chicago trio blending 2000s NYC indie vibes with 80s post-punk and new wave into their signature 'sad happy music to dance to.'

Expect bass-heavy melodies, crying guitar licks, and Morrissey-esque croons that’ll have you moving through nostalgic emotions. They exploded with their 2021 album Hotel Del La Muerte, hit a million streams on 'Over It' in 2022, rocked Riot Fest alongside The Cure and Queens of the Stone Age in 2023, and dropped their self-titled sophomore record in 2024 via Young & Cold Records, complete with a European fest debut.

Now touring the US, they’re underground darlings perfect for a night of genre-bending rock that’s equal parts heartbreak and dancefloor joy. Grab badges or wristbands for priority access and dive into their post-punk magic!

• Sound: Post-punk, new wave, indie—think Depeche Mode meets early-2000s indie.
• Highlights: Spotify playlist fame, Riot Fest, Wave Gotik Treffen.
• Vibe: Nostalgic, emotionally charged, irresistibly danceable.
