Yonaka

On June 9, 2026 at La Maroquinerie in Paris, Yonaka arrive with a tight blend of alternative rock, pop rock and punk bursts. Formed in Brighton around Theresa Jarvis (vocals), George Werbrouck-Edwards (guitar), Alex Crosby (bass, keyboards) and Robert Mason (drums), the quartet shapes songs built on big riffs and immediate choruses, underpinned by rhythms that borrow as much from hip‑hop as from contemporary pop. On stage, this manifests as controlled tension, clear build‑ups and a knack for hooks that unite the crowd without losing edge.

From their early EPs to Don’t Wait ’Til Tomorrow, then the mixtape Seize The Power and the EP Welcome To My House, the band follows a common thread: speak honestly, refine the dynamics, and deliver energy without sacrificing melodic clarity. This live show concentrates that hybrid approach, sitting between the frontal impact of a rock band and a modernized production. Expect a compact set, nervous transitions and more pop‑leaning breaths that leave room for Jarvis’s voice, which can slip from a whisper to a scream without overdoing it. A date crafted for fans of direct guitars and earworm choruses.
