SEATED SHOW
Jarboe feat. Thor Harris & Joy Von Spain
Influential avant-garde artist Jarboe, and former member of the legendary Swans, will embark on a UK and European tour in May 2026, presenting a truly unique and powerful collaboration alongside multi-instrumentalist Thor Harris (ex-Swans, Shearwater) and vocalist/composer Joy Von Spain (Eye of Nix). Jarboe’s live set, an immersive experience forged across decades of boundary-pushing music, will draw from her deep catalogue of industrial, experimental and atmospheric works. The trio will also debut two ambient pieces from her forthcoming album, “Sightings”. The performance is a unique union of ritual, sound and raw emotion, showcasing three distinct voices from the experimental underground working in transformative harmony.
Dawn Terry
From the days of Bong to a host of collaborations; cranky lo fi Dungeon Synth to one of the most arresting and enveloping improvised solo drone projects around, Dawn Terry is a mainstay of the UK underground. She plays slow, melancholic, optimistic music for sad people. Based in Newcastle, she is a veteran drone artist, producing work that is heavy, dreamlike, open and hypnotic. In her recent music Dawn has turned towards acoustic resonances provided by accordion, hurdy-gurdy, and voice.
Sade Arellano
Rooted in oral tradition and a DIY communal spirit, Sade’s music draws from deep wells of place and tradition, inspired by English, Scottish, and Irish folk, medieval ballads, Yiddish klezmer, and Appalachian songs. Their raw, intimate sound built on drone chords, simple melodies, and story-driven spell-casting - forms a living, breathing folk practice. They’re known to sing in unconventional spaces: forest clearings, caves, empty car parks, echoing tunnels, abandoned buildings, and dark pub corners.
