THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026
The Hanging Stars continue to carve out a distinctive niche within the cosmic country-folk landscape with their UK and European tour in 2026. Their evocative songwriting and atmospheric sound reflect a blend of folk pastoralism and the subtle, swampy textures of '60s Americana, drawing clear inspiration from seminal acts like The Byrds, Big Star, and Teenage Fanclub. This unique fusion comes alive through their performances, marked by shimmering twelve-string guitars and intricate four-part harmonies.
Formed in London in 2015, the band consists of Richard Olson on vocals and guitar, Patrick Ralla on guitar, Paul Milne handling the bass, and Paulie Cobra on drums. Over the years, they have earned acclaim for their steady progression and sonic evolution. Their 2026 album, Just A Day, recorded at Edwyn Collins' renowned Clashnarrow Studios in the Scottish Highlands and produced with guidance from Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub, further cements their reputation. Tracks like "All Your Yesterdays," "The Glasshouse," and "Sister Of The Sun" include fresh layers to their richly textured sound.
Their upcoming performance in Glasgow on 10 October 2026 forms part of the THE HANGING STARS UK/EU 2026 tour, which also encompasses shows at prominent venues and festivals such as Stanford Hall, Yellow Arch Studios, and St Stephen's Church, Ipswich. Fans can anticipate an immersive and heartfelt live experience where the band’s connection and command truly shine.
