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.
