Name: Gravity Machine Live
Start: 2026-03-27T19:00:00+00:00
Location: Things Happen Here

Three of the region’s most vital alt-rock bands come together for one unmissable night.
This is a rare chance to experience Gravity Machine, Mt Onsra, and Goldenmother on the same bill — three acts pushing guitar music into bold, emotional, and exhilarating territory.
Gravity Machine bring a fierce, forward-thinking edge to alternative rock, blending dissonance, drive, and melody in a way that invokes the spirit of bands like Wardruna and Darker. Their live shows are magnetically immersive, earning them consistent praise wherever they play with three-part harmonies sitting alongside driving beats and complex guitars. The band - founded by Niall Parker and fronted by Yunala Songweaver - occupy a unique place between pagan-rock and progressive innovation.
"Tracks such as ‘Standing Stones’, ‘Dreamtime’, and the epic set-closer ‘Nine’ were groove-laden and atmospheric, enhanced by violin and bodhrán. The female vocalist delivered a commanding performance, her voice strong and clear, with the presence of a pagan priestess.”

Mt Onsra deliver something deeper and darker: complex, atmospheric compositions threaded with unforgettable melodies. Fans of Tool or Deftones will recognise the weight and intensity, but Mt Onsra carve out a sound that’s entirely their own — cinematic, powerful, and emotionally charged. Their appearance at ArcTangent Festival further solidifying their reputation as a force to be reckoned with.
“As intimate as it is pounding...songs that blend post-rock with metal”
NARC Magazine
Opening the night are Goldenmother, whose angular guitars and fearless songwriting echo the art-rock spirit of Sonic Youth while remaining fiercely contemporary. Their live performances are renowned for their soft, but deep, intensity, turning every show into a visceral experience.
