Glasgow post-rock pioneers Mogwai take to the stage in Bristol, delivering a live experience that blends atmospheric guitar textures, driving rhythms, and moments of intense, cinematic sound.
Since forming in 1995, the band have released ten studio albums, most recently 2021’s As The Love Continues, which topped the UK charts, won Scottish Album of the Year, and earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Their career has also seen them composing acclaimed scores for Amazon Prime and Apple TV+, while their story is captured in the feature documentary Mogwai: If The Stars Had A Sound, which premiered at SXSW 2024.
Expect a career-spanning set of intensity, precision, and emotional depth, with this Bristol performance.
