Last October, the Texas trio announced their biggest UK headline gig to date, which is set to take place in West London next Friday (August 15).

TV On The Radio were confirmed as the band’s special guests for the show, and it was later shared that Palace and NoSo would be joining them. You can find any remaining tickets for the Gunnersbury Park gig here.

Now, they’ve announced that they’ll be playing an intimate, one-off daytime show at a secret East London venue the day before (August 14).

You can sign up here to be sent a link to access tickets, which will also come with a physical copy of their fourth studio album ‘A La Sala’.

The album was given a glowing four-star review from NME last year, who noted: “‘A La Sala’ is a record unlikely to coax anyone to abandon the opinions they’ve become entrenched in: this is a back-to-basics record that chimes with the band’s spritely debut ‘The Universe Smiles Upon You’ (2015). It’s not a surprising move, either.

“That said, nothing on ‘A La Sala’ feels phoned-in or anonymous. Khruangbin occupy a unique lane that satisfies obsessive crate-diggers and casual festival-goers alike, as two huge shows at Coachella later this month will prove. Theirs is a discography which only appears to be flourishing with more vivid colours and textures.”

The band also graced NME‘s cover back in 2020. Speaking about their perceived rapid rise to fame at the time, the band’s Laura Lee said: “You have no idea how long it’s going to last when you’re starting out. The whole of last year was a real ‘Holy shit!’ moment. We set out to be a worldwide band – and we got it.”
