AKARI FESTIVAL - lighting up a dark winter night with the very best from the UK post-rock, post-metal, heavy math and alternative-shoegaze scenes.
Headlining this years' event are LoE (Last of Eden). The Halifax post-rock quartet enjoyed well deserved critical acclaim for their debut record, The World and Everything In It (2023) which featured in the top 5 post rock albums on the Post Rock Reddit page. Following on from stellar shows at Trades Club (Hebden Bridge), appearances at Post-in-Paris festival and London Prog Fest, 2024 has seen the band bring a new level of polish to the already slick debut album tracks, as well as showcase a host of brand new songs, certain to become fan favourites on a follow-up record soon.
Joining LoE across their November UK dates are Reading post-metal stars Mountainscape. The band have released one of the best post-metal/post-rock cross over records of the year in Iridesent, and if their last two Manchester shows are anything to go by, they will combine the ethereal beauty of Iridesent with the crunching heaviness of their entire catalogue.
Your hosts - Civil Service - will perform their debut album, ///Light, in full - potentially the first and last time they will attempt this. Having recently toured the UK with US Post-metal/post-rock troubadours BLACKSHAPE, Civil Service are set to add their debut record to a stacked list of amazing albums released by the performing artists at this year's AKARI festival, with ///Light due for release on 4th October 2024.
New Ghost join the album on the back of the release of 'A Dagger in Every Tide', which has received praise from the likes of Echoes and Dust, Noizze & featured on 6Music. We're delighted to welcome New Ghost back to the 33 Oldham Street stage, following a stand-out performance here last year.
Maebe return to Manchester following their national tour and ArcTangent performances earlier in 2024. Rebirth. Relive. Repeat. set new standards for one of Bristol's most ambitious post-rock bands, and their unique, textured and technical style is likely to light up even the darkest November evening.
Joining the gang for their first Manchester outing in over a year, Newcastle's best math rock band, Dutch Elm. Having already stolen the show at the last 33 Oldham St gig they played, and with a host of new songs - and an ever developing sound - their return promises to be every bit as spellbinding.
