BIOGRAPHY
Sheffield's own Lina and the Lions are a high‑energy Retrowave trio fusing soaring synths, anthemic choruses, and an unmistakable 80s glow – imagine Stranger Things meets The Killers. Comprised of core members Lina Lane (lead vocals/bass) and Lee Feltham (guitar), with the addition of a live drummer, the trio has become synonymous the band has for hook-driven sets, tight musicianship, and a powerful live presence, captivating audiences across the UK and beyond
Lina and the Lions blend 80s-inspired synth textures with modern alt-pop bite—a sound that lands somewhere between Stranger Things nostalgia and festival-ready rock. Fans of Cyndi Lauper, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, CHVRCHES, and The Killers will find something familiar yet fresh. It’s a cross-generational sound, drawing older fans of classic New Wave and younger audiences hungry for melodic, emotionally driven pop with teeth.
Lina and the Lions are no strangers to large stages. Their Comic Con tour saw them performing on arena stages across the UK alongside A-list names, consistently turning heads and earning new fans through their unforgettable live presence. What sets them apart isn’t just their songs, it’s the energy they bring. Lina’s stage presence is grounded and charismatic, drawing people in without overplaying the role. She brings a rare mix of grit and melody that feels equal parts DIY punk and polished pop. There’s no over-the-top persona here, just instinctive stage command, sharp lyrics, and a voice that can cut through noise or carry a room. She’s not trying to be the next anyone, and that’s exactly why people are paying attention. All while the band’s chemistry and tight musicianship deliver a show that’s both emotionally resonant and explosively fun. This is a band that doesn’t just play, they captivate.
