Din of Celestial Birds, FORT, Solars - Leeds

Cinematic instrumental post-rock/post-metal quintet Din of Celestial Birds have been capturing the hearts of passionate music lovers from all over the world. The band's 2023 debut full length album The Night Is For Dreamers - produced by Joe Clayton (Pijn, Leeched) and released in August 2023 by A Cheery Wave (UK) and A Thousand Arms (US) - was met with high critical praise. Their album tour saw them take their stellar live show to a range of top-tier festivals including ArcTanGent, Damnation's Night of Salvation, StrangeForms, Portals, and Dunk!Festival. March 2025 sees them bring their pummelling riffs, swirling melodic passages, and shimmering atmospheric textures to the stage once more. With much of 2025 set aside for writing their second album, this tour will be a rare outing for the Birbs, so be sure to catch them on what's guaranteed to be an excellent evening of music with the magnificent FORT and Solars!

Fellow ArcTanGent alumni FORT will also be lighting up the stage, kicking off 2025 with a bang after a roaring twenty-twenty FORT which saw them supporting post-rock titans Ranges and Nordic Giants. Their recent EP Over The Water, Where The Clouds Grow delivers a tidal sonic masterwork in instrumental rock, with hooks, riffs, and introspective atmospheres aplenty. These phenomenal Welsh instrumentalists are not to be missed as they bring their finely honed live show to Leeds for the frist time.

Completing the lineup are Birmingham experimental post-rockers Solars who's 2024 album A Fading Future received glowing reviews from many notable publications including Noizze, Echoes and Dust, and Veil of Sound. Their irresistible chugs, headbang-able riffs, and soaring lyrical guitarwork promises to set a high bar for an evening of incredible instrumentalism.
