The Louisiana

Truly spellbinding neoclassical, violin-fuelled avant-pop awaits at a dreamy billing of LEYA’s celestial and sensual baroque incantations combined with Vanessa Bedoret’s spectral electronic experimentations. Huge FFO: Eartheater, Lafawndah, Sarahsson, claire rousay. LEYA + Vanessa Bedoret at The Louisiana.

Leaders of the new wave of Brummie heavy ‘stadium doom’ born under the diabolical sign of Sabbath and Maiden. Margarita Witch Cult rip through the 70s proto-metal blues riff rulebook with galloping future-classic choruses destined to lodge themselves eternally in your willing mind. This is a shockingly fresh and vital metal force FFO: Green Lung, Uncle Acid, Truckfighters, Orange Goblin, Sleep. Margarita Witch Cult / Longheads /Choir of the sun at The Louisiana.

Nigel Chapman renders the world from the outside in, with a kind of absurd spiritual reverence. His literary sophisti-pop band, Nap Eyes, sprout lyrical imagery of animal spirits and phantoms and 13th century castles and if you’re into Breakfast Records this is a no-brainer. FFO: Destroyer, the propelling wind of the self development paradigm, David Berman. Nap Eyes at The Louisiana.

Cinematic sound design and mesmerising strings meet atmospheric fantasy-pop for a truly transcendent billing of shimmering electronica and ethereal electroacoustics. All topped off by a DJ set from mercurial avant-garde luminary Sarahsson! Agathe Max + KosmoSuna + Sarahsson at The Louisiana.
