# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Strange Universe: Les Big Byrd & Sulfate
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: LES BIG BYRD & SULFATE - TUESDAY 24 MARCH - DOUBLE WHAMMY
Rounding out the month is the cosmically charged sonic Swedish force that is Les Big Byrd. Launched into cult stardom in their early years when Brian Jonestown Massacre's Anton Newcombe championed their sound, the band have gone on to become a revered entity in the world of psychedelic rock. Local critic Graham Reid recently sat them alongside the likes of Spiritualized, Can, and Tangerine Dream, while one blogger evoked quite an image, inviting the listener to imagine “the Pixies playing in a subway station on LSD opening for Enigma”. They will be joined in support by the fiercest trio in the land right now, Sulfate! Reunited, reinvented, and fully reinvigorated, you won’t experience a deeper head trip than a Sulfate show any time soon, and we’re stoked to have them on the bill.
