# Event Details - **Event Name**: ctrl LIVE: Arab Strap [UK] - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 26 Nov, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+02:00) - **Event Description**: ctrl LIVE: Arab Strap [UK] -- Berlin Room [Indie Rock] On Thursday, November 26, Arab Strap arrive at Control for their first-ever show in Romania, bringing with them a new album set for release later this year: Half-Told Tales. Three decades in, Malcolm Middleton and Aidan Moffat still sound like nobody else. What began in 1995 as lo-fi intimacy, post-rock drift, and brutally personal storytelling has kept mutating ever since, from romance and ruin to something wider, stranger, darker, and unexpectedly funny - described by the NME as "fly on the duvet vignettes". Stuart Berman of Pitchfork wrote that Arab Strap "stand among indie rock's most astute observers of human behavior in the digital age" with the I'm Totally Fine with It Don't Give a Fuck Anymore album, while themselves said that “We’re the last generation that could get drunk without someone filming us.” Disco, spoken word, folk, metal, electronica, post-rock, Arab Strap somehow fold it all into a singular identity that never fully settles. The band before and after their hiatus can feel like two different creatures, but the thread is still unmistakably theirs. On the album to come, Half-Told Tales, they say “Whether it's a samba drum beat or a dance beat or live drums. Our identity just comes through in the studio.” With a huge anniversary milestone imminent, there was a feeling of letting it all hang out. “We've done this for 30 years, so why hide anything? Why be unsure?” continues Moffat. “This way, it gives you a better picture of what we've been working on and shows the full breadth of what we’re doing, and hopefully there's a few surprises.” New track: https://youtu.be/1VeBhMvzdKA?si=Ka4EvGOQ813EF_kV __ Open doors: 19:00 Show Time: 20:00 🎫 85 lei + taxes • Presale 🎟️ 100 lei + taxes • General Sale __ * Children up to 12 years old do not have access to the event. ** Children up to 16 years old need a valid ticket and must be accompanied by a parent with a valid ticket. *** Minors aged 16 to 18 years old have access with a valid ticket. **** Serving and alcohol consumption are strictly forbidden for all minors. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bucharest/ctrl-live-arab-strap-uk/200030161095307 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, parties, music, spoken-word, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 69 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Bucharest - **state**: BU - **country**: Romania - **location**: Str.
