Ladies and germs, introducing Strange Universe - Autumn Edition, a new show series in March 2026, featuring the return of American psych lord Ty Segall and his scorching band, Norwegian duo of the moment Smerz, Swedish noise makers Les Big Byrd, Anatolian psych-folk sensation Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, and eternally excellent Flying Nun favourite The Bats celebrating their 2025 already-classic album Corner Coming Up!
The full line-up across March is yet to be unveiled, but this first announcement is enough to melt our minds and have us looking forward to the new year like never before… And you better believe we are planning Strange Universe WINTER Edition already…
LES BIG BYRD - TUESDAY 24 MARCH - DOUBLE WHAMMY
Rounding out the month is the cosmically charged sonic Swedish force that is Les Big Byrd. Launched into cult stardom in their early years when Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe championed their sound, the band have gone on to become a revered entity in the world of psychedelic rock. Local critic Graham Reid recently sat them alongside the likes of Spiritualized, Can, and Tangerine Dream, while one blogger evoked quite an image, inviting the listener to imagine “the Pixies playing in a subway station on LSD opening for Enigma”.
