The forthcoming London performance promises an enthralling display of the band’s evolution and artistic breadth, further enriched by contributions from distinguished artists such as saxophonist Nic Kummert, bassist Jon Goode, and guitarist Stuart McCallum. Together, they aim to craft an immersive auditory experience, navigating through soundscapes that juxtapose the sublime with the intense, inviting the audience into a realm of profound musical immersion.
This event will last for 1 hour & 40 minutes, including an interval.
