The annual London festival came to a close with an emotional day full of the past, present and future of the U.K. indie scene. 8/25/2025 Phil Sharp Indie-rockers The Maccabees called it quits at an inopportune moment. The indie band – made up of Orlando Weeks (vocals), Hugo and Felix White (guitars), Rupert Jarvis (bass) and Sam Doyle (drums) – split in 2017 following the release of their sole U.K. No. 1 record, 2015’s Marks to Prove It.
