Helicon @ The New Adelphi Club, Hull

Our first ever show in Hull! And it's JP's birthday.
Helicon was formed by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow. Their sound blends psychedelia, electronica, guitars and sitar with a spirit of counter-cultural experimentation. Since signing to Fuzz Club in 2017, their music has featured on BBC Radio 6 Music, and they’ve previously collaborated with Tony Doogan (Mogwai / Delgados / Belle & Sebastian / David Byrne), Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3 / The Brian Jonestown Massacre/ Spiritualized / Dead Skeletons), and Mark Gardener (Ride).
Their 4th studio album, ARISE, a collaboration with LA-based artist AL LOVER, was released Friday 13th February 2026, reaching No.20 in the Official UK Album Downloads Chart.
