Khruangbin fans, mark your calendars for Friday, 15th August 2025, because the Texas trio are gearing up for their biggest UK performance yet. They’ll be taking over London’s Gunnersbury Park with a huge open-air show that promises to be one of the year’s standout live events.
Special guest? None other than the legendary TV On The Radio, who are returning to the stage after a long hiatus, bringing their unique blend of art rock and electrifying energy.
Tickets will be available from Friday, 11th October 2024, at 10AM via Ticketmaster, so set those alarms early. This show is likely to be an instant sell-out, especially with TV On The Radio also on the bill. The New York-based band, who have been hailed as “the most innovative band on the planet” by AV Club, will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes, so expect some nostalgia mixed in with their usual experimental brilliance.
Khruangbin, known for their genre-bending sound and captivating live performances, have been on a global tear in 2024, playing festivals and shows around the world. Their latest record, ‘A LA SALA’, has been described as “a reimagining and refuelling” of their creative vision, and this Gunnersbury Park gig looks set to be a pinnacle moment in their career.
Gunnersbury Park itself is quickly becoming one of London’s go-to summer music venues, hosting a diverse array of acts. Last year alone, it saw performances from PJ Harvey, Peggy Gou, KoRn, Tom Grennan, and FISHER. With more 2025 shows to be announced, Khruangbin’s headline slot is sure to be one of the highlights of next summer.
