THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026

The Hanging Stars continue to captivate audiences across the UK and Europe with their evocative blend of cosmic country-folk in their highly anticipated THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026 tour. Rooted in London, this band has carved out a distinctive musical space that fuses folk's pastoral warmth with the murky, textured sounds of '60s Americana, drawing clear inspiration from the likes of The Byrds, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub. Their music is characterised by shimmering twelve-string guitars and intricate four-part harmonies, creating an atmospheric sound that is both timely and timeless.

Since forming in 2015, The Hanging Stars have steadily built a reputation for compelling songwriting and engaging live performances. Their sixth album, Just A Day, released in June 2026, marks a significant milestone. Recorded at Edwyn Collins' acclaimed Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands and produced with guidance from Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub, the album highlights their evolving artistry with standout tracks like 'All Your Yesterdays', 'The Glasshouse', and 'Sister Of The Sun'. This collection emphasizes their characteristic harmonies and lush instrumentation, demonstrating why the band remains both relevant and admired in the cosmic country-folk circuit.

The UK leg of their 2026 tour encompasses a rich variety of dates at intimate, acoustically rewarding venues, culminating in this significant London show. The dynamics of their live set are a testament to their ability to connect deeply with audiences, drawing listeners into their evocative soundscape.

St Matthias Church, Stoke Newington, London

This London concert takes place at St Matthias Church in Stoke Newington, a venue known for its magnificent acoustics that perfectly complement The Hanging Stars' atmospheric music. The church's versatile space, with moveable pews and chairs, creates an intimate setting with a capacity of up to 250, ideal for the rich textures and harmonies the band is known for. It is also noted as a filming location, famously featured in the opening episode of the fourth series of Killing Eve, highlighting its aesthetic and acoustic appeal for performances and recordings alike.
