Post-Eurovision blues hitting strong? Don't worry, Platform '96 is back and ready to depart for Stage 002 alongside Theodor Andrei, Eurovision semifinalist and Vocea României Junior semifinalist (The Voice Kids Romania).
With multiple appearances on BBC Music Introducing, joining Theodor will be Glass Bridges, a four-piece alternative rock band that represents the fragility of early relationships and the determination to strengthen connection through self-reflection and love.
Inspired by Nothing But Thieves, Muse, Badflower, and Nirvana - opening Stage 002 will be MINƎRVA, and be assured they are ready to rock the boat with their energy! Fun fact - they raised over £1300 for War Child (charity focusing on a safe future for every child living through war) with a broadcast studio show, placing them among the top 20 artists who have raised the most funds for the charity.
Taking place at The Water Rats, a renowned venue steeped in music history with Bob Dylan, The Pogues and Oasis playing their first gigs, Stage 002 is promising an unforgettable night of live music in a truly iconic setting.

Theodor Andrei is a singer, composer, and actor, with an impressively long list of theatre and voice-acting credits, and that’s because he started performing at a very young age.
One of Theodor’s earliest achievements was reaching the semi-finals of Vocea României Junior (The Voice Kids Romania), then a few years later he turned the judges’ heads on X Factor Romania. In both instances he demonstrated the distinctive rock vocals that are now his professional trademark.
