Breaking onto the scene back in 2017 with their ferocious Jazz-infused noise-rock sound, the group quickly gained the attention of publishers and labels alike, penning a deal shortly after their first-ever gig with Dan Carey's Speedy Wunderground.

Five years on and Black Midi has issued two HUGE studio albums, 2019's Schlagenheim and 2021's Cavalcade, with a third record, Hellfire due out next month. They've toured venues around the globe, appeared at festivals the likes of Barcelona's Primavera, with an appearance also scheduled at Glastonbury 2022, and generally continue to push the boundaries of what a three-piece can create musically. 

Be sure to experience this impressive live act in the flesh, if you find yourself in Liverpool this October. You won't be disappointed.
