Gong and Henge join forces for an unforgettable night at Chalk, Brighton on 19th March 2026! Get tickets from Seetickets.
Gong in 2023 features the longest running line up of this legendary international psychedelic band. Comprising of members hand picked by the founding member Daevid Allen following his intent that his mystical vision for a group be continued after his passing, 21st century Gong remains a psychedelic tour de force, constantly evolving and expanding its core sound.
Kavus Torabi (Cardiacs/ The Utopia Strong) fronts the ensemble with Dave Sturt (Bill Nelson/ Jade Warrior), Fabio Golfetti (Violeta de Outono), Ian East and Cheb Nettles, with a string of studio and live albums.
The universe of Gong began in 1969 by Daevid Allen, following a profound psychedelic vision. A founder member of Soft Machine, Allen wove his spiritual and metaphysical leanings into an evolving collective. More a mythology than a band in the conventional sense Gong established itself as one of the most unique, innovative and experimental rock groups of the seventies, with an experimental mix of rock, jazz and psychedelia with elements of mysticism and based surrealism, all laced with a far-out sense of humour. https://www.gongband.com/the-band
