Twin Atlantic

Twin Atlantic play La Belle Angele in Edinburgh on June 10, 2026, bringing their Glasgow-forged take on alternative rock. Formed in 2007, the band first drew a line between power-pop hooks, emo urgency and indie grit, with tight, chorus-driven songs on early releases A Guidance from Colour and Vivarium. Free, Great Divide and GLA pushed that frame into broader, harder-hitting territory, while Power and Transparency wove in club-leaning textures and electronics without dropping the rock backbone. Meltdown (2024) turned the guitars back up, pointing to a live set that balances polish and abrasion.

On stage, Sam McTrusty’s vocals and guitar lead the charge, locked to Ross McNae’s bass and synth lines, with Joe Lazarus on drums since 2021; Barry McKenna still appears on select dates. The set typically moves across their catalogue, from big-chorus cuts to taut, rhythm-led bursts, stitching older staples to newer material. Seasoned by tours with Taking Back Sunday, Blink-182, My Chemical Romance and Thirty Seconds to Mars, Twin Atlantic deliver a focused, high-energy show tailored to a room like La Belle Angele.
