THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026

The Hanging Stars are poised to bring their unique cosmic country-folk sound to Chippenham as part of their THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026 tour. Known for blending the pastoral essence of folk with the swampy, '60s Americana vibe, the London-based band crafts songs that evoke a sense of place and mood with shimmering twelve-string guitars and intricate four-part harmonies. Their evocative songwriting draws inspiration from greats like The Byrds, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub, making their music a distinctive staple for fans of atmospheric roots music.

Since their formation in 2015, The Hanging Stars have steadily built a reputation for rich, textured albums and compelling live performances. The band’s latest album, Just A Day, released in June 2026, captures their evolving sound with production help from Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub at Edwyn Collins' renowned Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands. Tracks such as "All Your Yesterdays," "The Glasshouse," and "Sister Of The Sun" demonstrate the band’s ability to weave narrative and mood into richly layered arrangements.

Their 2026 UK and EU tour includes numerous stops reflecting their growing prominence among country and Americana audiences. The Chippenham date fits perfectly within this extensive schedule of shows, which traverses venues that appreciate the band’s blend of vintage influences and modern songwriting craft.
