Blooming + India Arkin at The Canteen
Free entry!

A gig held at The Canteen on Today. The event starts at 17:30.


Free entry! Australian indie-folk/rock singer-songwriter Blooming (Patrick Blooming) arrives at the Canteen to launch his new single 'Olivia'! After a huge 2025 playing at Glastonbury Music Festival, writing 100 songs in 100 days and playing over 160 shows, he brings a full band for the launch of a new single and a raw new sound. Sharing songs filled with colour and dynamism that move from soaring highs to piercing stillness, Blooming brings storytelling and stage presence that reminds you where your heart is. "Blooming’s music reminds me of when I first started listening to Jeff Buckley. That initial discovery of his voice, lyricism and unapologetic view of the world was unforgettable." Jake Wilton (AAA Backstage) India Arkin is a British-Cypriot singer, songwriter and visual artist, crafting music that blurs the edges between the delicate and the defiant. Now based in Bristol, Arkin has entered a new era — one defined by a softer, more intricate sound that draws from Middle Eastern and Japanese tonalities, and informed by the fluid freedom of jazz. Her songs breathe with intimacy, where every word and texture feels hand-painted, reflecting both her fine art roots and her instinctive sense of emotional depth. Followed by a DJ from 8pm to midnight.

Entry requirements: 18+
