GENN
GENN, one of the most exciting voices in the UK’s alternative scene, bring their 2026 UK tour to Sneaky Pete's Edinburgh on 5th February!
About GENN
GENN are a four-piece band based in Brighton, originally from Malta, whose sound fuses post-punk urgency with psychedelic textures and art-rock experimentation. Fronted by the charismatic Leona Farrugia, GENN create music that’s both politically charged and deeply personal, built on hypnotic basslines, angular guitars, and infectious grooves. Their songs explore themes of identity, womanhood, and defiance, delivered with raw emotion and an undeniable sense of energy.
Their acclaimed releases — including unum and liminal — have cemented GENN as one of the most exciting voices in the UK’s alternative scene. Drawing on influences from 1970s punk to contemporary post-punk and psych, the band’s sound is bold, rhythmic, and always evolving. On stage, they’re a force of nature — dynamic, theatrical, and unafraid to push boundaries.
Blurring the lines between chaos and control, GENN channel their Mediterranean roots and outsider spirit into something fiercely original. With their fearless attitude and genre-blending sound, they continue to carve out a space entirely their own.
