“Screaming-into-a-pillow music.” That’s how frontman Joe Love describes the sound of the London six-piece Fat Dog. At Pohoda, they will bring songs from their debut album WOOF, which delivers a gripping mix of electro-punk, feral rock ’n’ roll, techno, industrial pop, and rave euphoria.
Fat Dog formed in 2020 in southeast London during the COVID lockdowns. The band consists of vocalist Joe Love, Chris Hughes, Morgan Wallace, and drummer Johnny “Doghead” Hutch. Even before releasing their first singles, they became known for their chaotic and intense live performances, the likes of which the London scene hadn’t seen in a long time. Music magazine NME even named them “the wildest live band of 2023.”
In 2023, the band signed with Domino Recording Company and performed alongside acts such as Viagra Boys and Yard Act. On their debut tour, they even sold out the legendary London venue Scala. Their first single, “King of the Slugs,” was released in August 2023 and stood out with its seven-minute blend of punk and techno. This was followed by appearances at major festivals across Europe and the United States, including South by Southwest.
Drummer Johnny Hutch, nicknamed “Doghead,” is known for performing on stage in a latex dog mask, which has helped him, as a person on the autism spectrum, cope with the anxiety associated with performing in public.
Their debut album WOOF was released in September 2024, cementing Fat Dog’s position as one of the boldest and most energetic bands on the contemporary British scene. At Pohoda 2026, you can expect tracks from this album, new material, and—above all—their insane live performance.
