After seeing British rock band Yonaka at Sea Sessions, we can't recommend them enough. With a badass lead singer and an album full of bangers, they're ones to watch.

Alt-rock band Inhaler are also on the rise, featuring Bono's son as the lead singer of the indie four-some.

Irish-English rapper Maverick Sabre also adds another level of Irish musicianship to the billing, what a talented man.

Born in Hackney, his family moved to Wexford when he was a youngster and grew up following singer-songwriter rappers like Plan B.

It has been three months since English beauty Suki Waterhouse and Bradley Cooper called it quits on their two-year relationship.

While Bradley has since been dating Sports Illustrated model Irina Shayk, there hasn’t really been any news of a potential new beau for Suki (aside from a dinner with James Marsden that turned out to be purely business).

But that might all be about to change for the 23-year-old singleton. Suki was spotted last night leaving the Strokes’ gig at the British Summertime Festival in Hyde Park with actor/musician Nat Wolff.  

The British Burberry model was seeing hurrying off to the concert in a rickshaw with model BFFs Cara Delevingne and Clara Paget. But she left without her friends, looking sufficiently partied out and getting into a taxi with Mr Wolff.

The 20-year-old actor who played Isaac in The Fault in Our Stars,is starring alongside Cara in their upcoming film, Paper Towns. The co-stars have been together a lot promoting their film, but it seems that Suki is the one that has really caught his eye.

We wonder if Bradley will have anything to say if Suki starts dating a man who is TWENTY years younger than him!
