THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026
The Hanging Stars continue to carve out a unique niche in the cosmic country-folk landscape with their evocative songwriting and atmospheric sound. Known for blending folk pastoralism with a swampy '60s Americana vibe, they draw on inspirations such as The Byrds, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub. The London-based band, featuring Richard Olson, Patrick Ralla, Paul Milne, and Paulie Cobra, crafts music enriched by four-part harmonies and shimmering twelve-string guitars that create a distinctive and captivating sonic experience.
As part of their THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026 tour, this performance offers a chance to experience tracks from their sixth album, Just A Day. Released in June 2026, the album was recorded at Edwyn Collins' Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands with production guided by Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub. It features evocative songs like "All Your Yesterdays," "The Glasshouse," and "Sister Of The Sun," further establishing the band’s evolution and ongoing relevance in their genre.
The ongoing tour already has a broad itinerary, with prior UK dates spanning from August through November across multiple cities, showcasing their commitment to connecting with audiences nationwide. Presenting a set marked by heartfelt and engaging performances, The Hanging Stars invite fans who appreciate jangly guitars and harmonically rich folk to experience their signature cosmic country-folk sound live.
