KENNYHOOPLA X GIRLFRIENDS | sold out
Live Nation presents KENNYHOOPLA X GIRLFRIENDS plus special guest BINO BAMES live Downstairs at The Dome
KENNYHOOPLA
‘Conditions of an orphan//‘ is a bold new breakthrough for Kennyhoopla. His fifth proper EP—and his final release before putting out his long-awaited debut album—finds the Cleveland-hailing singer-songwriter embracing the music that he grew up with and digging deeper than ever into his own personal experiences. The result is an exciting new chapter for Kennyhoopla, and it’s only the beginning. This new collection of music is the culmination of Kennyhoopla’s journey so far and follows this past spring’s rebirth // renaissance EP this past spring, a release that represented “a new beginning” for Kenny as his inaugural release on the Orchard. If that EP took inspiration from vintage-classic acts like the Drums and New Order, then conditions of an orphan// dives deep into the buzzsaw indie rock sound of the 2000s—think the Rapture’s spiky rhythms and Franz Ferdinand’s suave effervescence.
With a new sound comes new collaborators, including Paramore drummer Zac Farro, who handled production across conditions of an orphan// and laid down some sticks skills in his Nashville studio for “orphan//.” “I brought him that song and he made it sound even more like an actual song,” Kenny marvels. Production extraordinaire Mike Elizondo (Turnstile, 50 Cent) also assisted in production duties during conditions of an orphan’s creative process, contributing to “mona lisa we miss you//” and “too many jocks turned rockstars//”: “He was like, ‘Send me all the ideas you have right now, whether you like them or not—and we’ll pick which ones I think have the most potential.”
GIRLFRIENDS
As the exceedingly prolific pair known as girlfriends, Travis Mills and Nick Gross conjure songs that are at once pleasingly familiar and warmly unique. In less than three years, the duo created not one but two urgent, inspired, and original albums.
They’ve already sold out the Roxy in LA; opened for Machine Gun Kelly; toured with Mod Sun and Grayscale; and played a festival with Twenty One Pilots. SPIN called girlfriends’ self-titled debut “polished, impassioned, and commanding,” comparing their cross-genre appeal to MGK and Trippie Redd. Fans streamed the first album more than 46 million times on Spotify alone, driven by songs like “California,” “Where Were You” (ft. Travis Barker), and “Jessica.”

GIDEON
Live Nation presents GIDEON live at The Dome
Since forming in 2008 in Tuscaloosa, AL, Gideon had been making a name for themselves by defying convention, creating their own distinct sound and never settling for anything that was just run of the mill or ordinary. Rather, the band—completed today by founding member and drummer Jake Smelley, vocalist Daniel McWhorter, guitarist/vocalist Tyler Riley and bassist Caleb DeRusha—kept stretching the boundaries of their sound to great acclaim and to increasing commercial success. 2011’s debut album, Costs, established them as powerhouse of the metalcore scene, but that’s something the band simultaneously pushed away from it, incorporating elements of melodic hardcore and hardcore punk into the fold of their songs, but always with an underlying sense of positivity and defiance. Impressively prolific, the band released their next two full-lengths, Milestone and Calloused, on Facedown Records in 2012 and 2014 respectively, before signing to Equal Vision Records. Their first album for EVR was 2017’s Cold, followed by Out Of Control in 2019, a record that deservedly saw the band’s profile rising steadily. That brings us to Gideon’s 6th full-length studio album. Recorded/mixed/mastered by Randy Lebouef at Graphic Nature Audio, “MORE POWER. MORE PAIN.”is a brutally intense burst of violent noise that both nods to the band’s past, musically and thematically, but also establishes itself in its own context.
TSA
1664 Music and Born Again concerts present TSA live Downstairs at The Dome
The band formed in 1979 in Opole as an initiative of guitarist Andrzej Nowak. The original line-up additionally included Stefan Machel (guitar), Janusz Niekrasz (bass) and Marek Kapłon (drums). TSA was originally an instrumental band. It won a "battle of the bands" during the 1981 Jarocin Festival at which members met Marek Piekarczyk, a singer in Sektor A. He debuted as TSA's vocalist a month later at the Pop Session festival in Sopot.
The band's song "Zwierzenia kontestatora" ("Confessions Of A Contestant") appears in the musical documentary Behind the Iron Curtain, which documents the heavy metal band Iron Maiden's first visit to Poland and other countries in Eastern Europe. The song is used as background music during the scene filmed in the music club Remont.
TSA's song "Marsz wilków" ("The Marching Of The Wolves") is used in the 1983 Polish children's movie Akademia Pana Kleksa (Academy of Mr. Kleks) – a film based on Jan Brzechwa's 1964 book.
The group disbanded on the eve of the 1990s, but came back together in the spring of 2001 to record and perform a 'classical line-up' of music.
As is common of heavy metal bands with acronym-based names, "TSA" may have no meaning, although in a 2003 press release one of the founders claimed that the acronym originally meant "Tajne Stowarzyszenie Abstynentów" – "Teetotallers' Secret Association".
In 2018, the band suspended its activities. In May 2021, there was a reactivation with the core of the team supplemented by Zbyszek Kraszewski and Paweł Mąciwoda.
STYGIAN BOUGH
Old Empire presents STYGIAN BOUGH plus supports 40 WATT SUN at The Dome
In our human minds, according to the Law of Contagious Magic as described in The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them. A gift from a dead friend forever holds this magic like a scar reflecting a wound. Similarly, a piece of food that touches the floor is suddenly abject and rotten. Pairing this notion with the Law of Similarity Magic, as described by Frazer, where an object resembling another can share its power, a musical notion can be understood to serve as an unbodied conduit of such magics; an emotional contact between the music and audience wherein such sorcery threads an inseparable seam that, for a time, resemble each other.
Aptly named in reference to the aforementioned book, Stygian Bough, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both projects as a conduit in its own separate entity.
The partnership at the center of Stygian Bough is over in a decade in the making, growing from Moggridge’s recurring contributions to the Bell Witch catalog. Their initial collusion occurring on the debut Bell Witch album Longing (2012) following which, Moggridge would return to guest on both Four Phantoms (2015) and Mirror Reaper (2017).
Stygian Bough Volume I was released in 2020, Volume II is imminent.

As such, the group has quietly haunted the darkest corners of the culture, peeking out with a series of unanimously acclaimed releases, A-list collaborations, and sold-out tours.

JEHNNY BETH
Metropolis Music Presents
JEHNNY BETH plus special guests live at The Dome
Jehnny Beth first came to prominence as the compelling frontwoman of Savages, the Mercury Prize–nominated post-punk band known for its live performances and stark lyricism.

Reuniting in France with longtime creative partner Johnny Hostile—just on tour with Nick Cave & Warren Ellis—she began shaping the forthcoming, You Heartbreaker, You—a cathartic, radical album born of urgency, joy, and rebellion. With instinctive lyrics, fierce vocals, and Hostile’s uncompromising production, the record channels chaos into sonic liberation.

Their ability to connect with audiences and deliver unforgettable experiences has earned them five-star reviews and sold-out shows across multiple tours.
BALANCING ACT
Metropolis Music Presents BALANCING ACT live at The Dome
London-based alternative quartet Balancing Act delivers an intense, high-energy live show renowned for turning venues into "sweatboxes." Formed by vocalist Kai Jon Roberts and guitarist Jackson Couzens after relocating from Manchester, the lineup solidified with bassist David Carpenter and drummer Pat Hanbury, completing their dynamic sound.
Following the critically acclaimed EPs Malice In Tone and Tightropes and Limericks, the band rapidly ascended, earning support from BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders, who hailed them as "the new generation’s favourite band."
Their current era is their most ambitious: the debut album, Who've You Come As?, began rolling out with Part 1 in late 2025—a richly atmospheric and cinematic blend of gothic indie, romantic melancholy, and theatrical, Tim Burton-esque surrealism. With the promise of "bigger ideas and bolder sounds" for the conclusion, Part 2, arriving in March 2026, Balancing Act is cemented as a vital and compelling new force in UK alternative music.

Fearless, ferocious, and unapologetically original, DEVILOOF push boundaries while honoring its roots and offering a thrilling dive into the darker side of Japanese music.
CHRIS GREY | SOLD OUT
SJM Presents Chris Grey plus supports Allegra Jordyn live at The Dome
Chris Grey has established himself as one of the leading faces of a new era of Dark Pop. Self-producing from his studio in Toronto, Chris's signature blend of dark production, featuring ethereal pianos, orchestral strings and passionate lyrics has garnered a dedicated fan base around the world. In the past year, Chris Grey skyrocketed, reaching over 500M streams on his viral cinematic hit, Let The World Burn. Chris’ sound emerged from the very different worlds of his parents, each born in Kingston - his father in Kingston, Jamaica and his mother in Kingston, Canada. This dual heritage melds into his work, blending influences of the reggae and R&B records of his father, along with the pop and rock staples favoured by his mom. At just 23, he’s only scratched the surface of his creative potential - and the world is listening.
FLETCHR FLETCHR
Live Nation presents FLETCHR FLETCHR live at Downstairs at The Dome
The four-piece were formed by three schoolfriends (vocalist/guitarist Rohan Fletcher, lead guitarist (and Jet Black’s producer) Adam Sanders, and drummer Oli Williams who Fletcher and Sanders nabbed from another school band). The trio all chose to study at the same university where they plotted the plight of their new band together. Bassist George Green arrived when Fletchr Fletchr were already almost fully-formed, ushered on stage for a show merely days after joining.
Naming your band after the vocalist follows a curious lineage (Van Halen, Florence & The Machine, Mumford & Sons, Ben Folds Five to name but a few), yet the actual reasoning is somewhat sweeter. Firstly, it’s in tribute to Rohan’s father, who passed away as the band’s biggest fan and source of encouragement. And secondly, when Adam moved into Rohan’s family home, working at their pub alongside Rohan, it was commented by friends that the pair had become almost inseparable, with Adam welcomed as a genuine part of the family Fletchr – and thus Fletchr Fletchr were born.
The very adult but relatable emotions of anxiety, love, and grief are already at the heart of what the band are writing their nascent songs about, and are quickly finding a kinship with their young fanbase by tapping into those themes. None of it goes hidden, instead rocketed out verbatim in these dizzying guitar songs.
MOON SAFARI
London Prog Gigs presents MOON SAFARI live at Downstairs at The Dome
Swedish progressive rock veterans MOON SAFARI are back in London as part of their 20th anniversary tour. Marking two decades since the release of their debut album ‘A Doorway to Summer’, the band is following on the success of their latest critically acclaimed studio album ‘Himlabacken Vol. 2’ which earned them a top five spot in the Prog Magazine Readers Poll of 2023 and saw them play for sold out crowds in Japan, UK, Norway and Sweden.
Moon Safari have risen to be one of the top contenders on the melodic progressive rock scene. With five studio albums, two live recordings and a list of past shows including opening slots for Yes at the Royal Albert hall in 2016 and for ex-Marillion frontman Fish in 2018, together with several sold out headline tours in Japan and five appearances on Cruise to the Edge, the band has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments for a independent act that still releases all their music on their label Blomljud Records.
On this tour the band will be putting on a big, varied show spanning their whole 20-year career to appeal both to the old school Moon Safari listeners and newcomers alike. Highly recommended for fans of classic melodic progressive rock with big vocal arrangements!
Johan Westerlund (bass, backing and occasional lead vocals) says:
"We're delighted to announce this London show as part of our 20th anniversary tour. We've played a number of times in this great city and our fans there have always pushed us to another level. Last year at the Dome was spectacular so we're really stoked to be back"

earthtone9
Kilimanjaro proudly presents earthtone9 with support from The Five Hundred live at The Dome
earthtone9 are rightly hailed by those who know as one of the most forward-thinking, clever, musically wise and creatively smart in the history of British metal. Emerging in the late ‘90s as nu-metal was beginning to surge, their more nuanced palette and intelligent approach saw them hailed as something special and excitingly against the grain from the very beginning. Making an album a year between 1998 and 2000 – beginning with their expertly crafted Lo-def(inition) Discord debut, and culminating in 2000’s staggering Arc’tan’gent – it was a workrate as intense as the music was uniformly brilliant.
After splitting in 2002 the band made a surprise return in 2013 with the crowdfunded album, IV. Following this they made only occasional appearances in the live arena (including at the ArcTanGent Festival, which purloined its name from their third album!), before once again seeming to disappear on hiatus.
Now, 11 years on from their last record, they present In Resonance Nexus, a thrilling work of brains and muscle that not only stokes a fire, but sees the band's core members – vocalist Karl Middleton and guitarists Owen Packard and Joe Roberts – rediscovering and reconnecting with what makes them so special. In Resonance Nexus is the heaviest, fiercest, most heightened record they have ever made; a startling combination of almost feral intensity and the latter-day songwriting chops they displayed on the IV album.
“In Resonance Nexus, as a title, is saying that we’ve found the core and the essence of the band again,” says Karl. “We were digging deep to find common musical ground, and between Joe and Owen, and I, it really felt like that there was a resonance there. It feels like we've landed on a really legitimate, 21st century version of the band. We were asking, ‘Why are we doing this?’ and having a very authentic answer.”
AVIANA
Live Nation presents AVIANA live with support from The Gloom In The Corner, Diamond Construct and Atena at The Dome

After touring UK, EU and Asia with bands like Crystal Lake, Adept, The Word Alive, Make Them Suffer and more, Joel proves that Aviana is among the top of the scene and that we can expect further great things coming our way in the near future.

THE WYTCHES
Live Nation presents THE WYTCHES with special guests CONGRATULATIONS AND CHILDHOOD TOYS live Downstairs at The Dome
The Wytches formed in 2011 after meeting at music college in Brighton. During these early years, the band relentlessly played any show they could find and managed to start picking up traction, eventually signing record deals with Heavenly Recordings and Partisan (for the USA).
2014 saw the release of their debut album, 'Annabel Dream Reader’, an explosive collection of 10 tracks that weave seamlessly between explosive riffs, slick surf, furious garage rock, and fine tuned introspection. The record’s combination of visceral energy and haunting themes immediately struck a chord, introducing the band to a whole new audience. They would tour the world throughout the year, headlining shows and also sharing stages with the likes of METZ,
Cloud Nothings, Blood Red Shoes, Pixies and Jamie T. Since then, The Wytches’ discography has expanded to three further albums and countless EPs.
Most recently, last year saw the band release their fourth album, ‘Our Guest Can’t Be Named', via cult label Alcopop! Records - a testament to both their evolution and staying power. Despite all that has come since, it’s still hard to believe ten years have passed since ‘Annabel Dream Reader’ first launched into our lives.

RPWL
SONICBOND PROMOTIONS presents RPWL with special guests ALSO EDEN live Downstairs at The Dome
It’s 20 years since the art-rock band RPWL from Freising in Bavaria released their most successful and - if many critics are to be believed - their best album to date: ‘World Through My Eyes’ in 2005.
Many of the songs on this album have become classics for the band, especially ‘Roses’, which former Genesis vocalist RAY WILSON performed magnificently as a guest singer in the studio version. The now seven-piece band tours almost constantly and has gained a huge and loyal following worldwide. Their last studio album ‘Crime Scene’ reached number 18 in the German album charts.
The upcoming tour will, of course, focus on ‘World Through My Eyes’, but other highlights from the band’s diverse and exciting discography will not be missing.
WORMROT
Old Empire & Doomstar proudly present WORMROT with support from CALLIGRAM and HARROWED live at The Dome
Note, this show has been upgraded and tickets are going fast!
WORMROT will be back in the original line up! Rolling Stones Magazine described Wormrot's latest release ''HISS'' (2022) as one of the best metal releases of the year. To understand this Singaporean band's most unlikely journey to arrive on a list comprising the likes of Megadeth and Ozzy Osbourne, one must look back to the start where an equally unlikely signing started it all. Earache Records signed their very first Asian act in Wormrot within 2 weeks of Digby Pearson's chance encounter of an online mixtape back in 2009. Fresh faced and straight out of national service, the trio consisting of Rasyid (Guitar), Arif (Vocals), and Fitri (Drums), found themselves with a global record deal.
Now back to the original lineup that started it all, Wormrot is geared to claim a place atop Grind’s pinnacle. Perhaps Kerrang Magazine put it best, that 'Wormrot can grind faces with the best of them, but they also bring in a host of other elements and their own unique flavour'.
STVW
Live Nation presents STVW Downstairs at The Dome
The German Songwriter/Producer & DJ Steve Witzlsperger aka STVW is one of the fastest rising artists within the new generation of dance music known for his energetic, yet melodic and emotional dance sound combined with elements from Pop-Punk, Emo and Rock, called ‚PUNK RAVE’.

STVW also gained recognition in the Rock music scene with his ‚PUNK RAVE’ sound. Bands like Simple Plan, blink-182, Good Charlotte, or Boys Like Girls not only backed his vision but even gave their stamp of approval to electrifying ‘PUNK RAVE’ versions of some of their iconic hits.
FROM FALL TO SPRING
DHP Family proudly presents FROM FALL TO SPRING plus special guests CYAN KICKS and support from LETTERS SENT HOME live Downstairs at The Dome
