South Arcade

A band formed through collaboration at ACM — proof that peers become professional creative partners.

South Arcade is a rising Oxford-based alternative rock quartet that has rapidly become the face of “Y2KCORE.” Formed in 2021 by vocalist Harmony Cavelle, guitarist Harry Winks, bassist Ollie Green, and drummer Cody Jones, the band exploded onto the scene by blending the high-octane energy of early 2000s pop-punk and nu-metal with modern production. Their nostalgic yet fresh sound—influenced by icons like Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park—earned them the title of BBC Introducing Act of the Year in 2025. Following the viral success of their debut EP in 2005 and a global deal with Atlantic Records, the band has transitioned from social media sensations to main-stage staples, recently completing a 22-date US tour and a massive UK run for their sophomore EP, PLAY!.
