Portals x yndi halda: celebration of Under Summer

Portals have teamed up with legendary British alternative / post-rock band yndi halda to co-curate a micro-festival in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of their second album Under Summer.

The evening will culminate with a headline set from yndi halda. The legendary band will be performing their first UK gig for nearly 8 years. While yndi halda have previously worn the mantles of instrumental and post-rock music - especially with their 2006 debut Enjoy Eternal Bliss - more recent releases have occupied considerably broader territories. The closely-crafted vocal harmonies and new musicalities of their last album Under Summer were continued in follow-up EP A Sun-Coloured Shaker, where their forms are embedded into a symbiotic world in which a love of true songwriting, meticulous post-classical arrangement, contemporary indie, choral music, and transcendent longform structure coexist.

There will also be a medley of various solo projects from members of the band with each project performing a short set, including: A Lily, Kibbo Kift, Dau, SA Hampshire, Incorruptible Bodies & Jack Lambert.

Also performing are instrumental rock quartet Codices, shape-shifting alt-rock outfit Ceann Capaill, alternative rock local heroes Mount Forel, blackgaze rising stars World Coda and experimental artist BAG.

A limited number of early bird tickets are available at 25 (including fees). The regular ticket price is 30. Book now via www.portalsrock.com/tickets.
