GOTTS STREET PARK
plus support
Opium Live • Sat 14 November 2026 • 7:30pm
For over a decade, Gotts Street Park have been refining something increasingly rare: music made entirely in the room, by human hands, guided by instinct and friendship.
Formed in Leeds by Josh Crocker (bass & production), Tom Henry (keys) and Joe Harris (guitar), the trio have built a distinctive sound rooted in vintage soul and alt-R&B. Earning over 65 million streams on Spotify, the trio collaborate closely with a wide range of vocalists, including Celeste, Rosie Lowe & Olive Jones.
What began as a love of sixties Motown has evolved into a genre-spanning catalogue – from the cinematic Diego EP to a growing body of collaborative releases that continue to expand their world. With new music arriving this year, Gotts Street Park are entering their most expansive phase yet.
In 2026, that world moves further onto the stage – from debut US performances at Newport Jazz and Montreal to their biggest headline show at London’s Roundhouse – inviting more people than ever into the room with them.

Funk/Rock trio High Fade – consisting of founder Harry Valentino (Guitar, Vocals), Oliver Sentence (Bass, Mustache) and drummer Heath Campbell (Drums) has grown from Scotland’s most excited busking band into a household name across the world after bursting onto the scene with viral sensations such as “Burnt Toast & Coffee”, “Gossip”, “Burnin’”, and an audacious cover of Herbie Hancock’s “Chameleon”. Sold out tours across the UK, USA, and Europe have seen the band get well over 1,500 shows under their belt, allowing High Fade to fast become one of the most ferocious touring bands on the planet. Delivering shows that are packed with raw energy and jaw – dropping musicianship, they refuse to accept the limits of what a three – piece band can do.
With sold out tours across the UK, USA, and Europe; and impactful slots at dozens of festivals like Boomtown (UK), Suwannee Hulaween (USA) and Glastonbury – where they performed three times in one day in 2024 – High Fade have come a long way from that street corner in Edinburgh. Drawing inspiration from funk, rock, disco, jazz, metal, punk, soul, and beyond, High Fade has developed a sound that explodes out of a rip – roaring melting point of musical influences and tears at the fabric of space time by managing to feel simultaneously fresh and retro. Fiercely independent, the band releases music via their own label RPN Records (“Rippin’ Records”), including their debut album, Life’s Too Fast (2024), which charted in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, USA, and Australia. Not bad for an independent DIY band operating entirely outside of the Major Label system. High Fade’s sophomore LP, Twice As Nice, due for release on RPN Records May 2026, was recorded at two of the world ’ s most renowned studios, East Iris Studios in Nashville and RAK Studios in London. The hotly anticipated new album arrives just in time for the band’s massive 50 – date Twice As Nice tour that will bring the band to all corners of the USA and Canada this Spring and Summer.

HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY
plus support
Opium Live • Tue 24 November 2026 • 7:00pm
Despair, loss, love, and existential struggles have always been the foundation of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY’s distinctive sound. Since their formation in 2011, multi-instrumentalist M.S. and vocalist J.J. have gained recognition for pushing musical boundaries with their emotionally charged blend of atmospheric extreme metal and melodic post-rock, grunge and modern hardcore, carving out a genre of their own. After maintaining a steady two-year release rhythm and producing five albums in nine years, the band decided to break from tradition following 2021’s “Maere” (which peaked at #4 on the official German charts). Taking four years to craft their next epic chapter, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY will now release their new tour-de-force, “Scorched Earth”, in January 2025 through AOP Records.
Musically, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY continues to evolve, but don’t stray too far away from the path they have been walking for the past 13 years. Their music is renowned for its melancholic, deeply emotional tone, exploring themes of existential despair, inner turmoil, and the human condition. Over the years, these themes have solidified their place as pioneers of their own genre.
Growth has been a defining element for HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY in recent years. They’ve headlined tours across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia, earning a reputation as one of the most emotionally intense live acts in modern metal. Additionally, they’ve garnered five nominations for Austria’s prestigious Amadeus Music Award. Now, the band is ready to return to the stage, kicking off an extensive North American tour with Swallow The Sun in February, followed by a European headline tour in April to unveil “Scorched Earth” to the world.

EVERGREY- Architects Of A New Weave Release: June 5, 2026
From Ashes to Architects – EVERGREY Expand Their Journey Through Vibrant Dismalness With 15th Studio Album! EVERGREY, Gothenburg’s masterminds of melancholia, offer up another outburst of beautiful darkness and turn their inner fire into something unstoppable: their intense fifteenth album, Architects Of A New Weave, will be released on June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records, just days before the band takes the stage as special guest to the undisputed kings of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, for two shows on their Run For Your Lives World Tour. This is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed: a plunge into thinning air, burning worlds, and lingering guilt—only to break free with fierce momentum. The album refuses to wallow. It ascends— fast, heavy, and cinematic. But it refuses to hide in the dark. It rises: fast, fierce, and utterly transformative. Among other exclusive formats, Architects Of A New Weave comes with a bonus album, containing bonus tracks “Heights” and “One Heart”, as well as an album mix of the previously released standalone single “OXYGEN!” (2025). Additionally, it features a demo version of “Longing”, instrumental tracks of “Leaving The Emptiness”, both new songs, as well as a live version of “Falling From The Sun”, the hit single off the previous record, Theories of Emptiness (2024) and continuation of “Ominous” off of A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) (2022). Dive into Architects Of A New Weave’s standout tracks like “The World is on Fire”, “Leaving The Emptiness”, “Heaven”, and “The Prophecy”, and the breathtaking title anthem “Architects Of The New Weave”. Their choruses break through like sunlight piercing storm clouds: enormous, cinematic melodies that pull you upward, riffs with genuine weight and bite, and vocals dripping with raw, unflinching truth. In one breath, you’re shouldering buried longing; in the next, you’re weightless, fearless, endless. Scars transform into badges of survival, fractures fuel reinvention. In the second half of the album, fellow Gothenburg icon Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Grand Cadaver, Cemetery Skyline) joins Tom S. Englund in vocal duties for “A Burning Flame”, the voices of the two scene legends intertwined compellingly. Architects Of A New Weave was produced by Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar, with a stellar mix by Adam “Nolly” Getgood.
Chaos doesn’t claim victory—you do. You step forward as the weaver, rethreading belief, identity, connection, and the very shape of tomorrow into something stronger, brighter, unbreakable. This is melodic, progressive, dark metal at its most massive and intimate: heavy enough to shift mountains, anthemic enough to make you raise your fist and truly believe it. It carries one unshakable truth straight to your core: Nothing—not pain, not darkness, not any storm—gets to label you broken. You’re the power that gathers the fragments and forges real beauty from them. Dream weavers rising. Architects are stepping up to claim what comes next. If you’ve ever felt that inner tug—quiet or roaring—to rewrite your story on your own terms, with zero apologies and complete ownership, this is the soundtrack that turns the urge into certainty. Your battle cry. Your hymn for renewal, creation, and finally stepping into the person you’re destined to be. Whether it launches EVERGREY’s boldest era yet, stands as a fierce standalone declaration, or serves as the pivotal bridge chapter that redefines their path, Architects Of A New Weave is pure cinematic motivation—ready to charge your playlist and propel your momentum forward. It’s as though EVERGREY don’t merely survive adversity—they rise and expand because of it. Every challenge, every setback, every wound seems to become the very oxygen that fuels their music. The darker the storm that once threatened to break them, the more powerfully each note draws breath from that same pain, transforming what hurt them yesterday into the soaring, living heart of their songs today. Architects Of A New Weave seals it: we are no longer victims of the night, but creators of new skies, new beliefs, and entirely new heavens. Grab it now. Let it arm you. This isn’t just an album – it’s the sound of you seizing control and building what’s next.
