Elder Island

Elder Island returns to its hometown with a show on 6 November 2026 at The Prospect Building in Bristol. Formed by Katy Sargent, Luke Thornton and David Havard, the trio has built a sound that sits between electronica and indie pop, with downtempo currents and flashes of funk. Their songs grow by layers, guided by Sargent’s voice, lit by airy textures and anchored by warm, forward basslines and supple rhythms. It’s music that balances songcraft with groove, carefully detailed but never static.

On stage, Elder Island leans into that in‑between space where live performance meets the pulse of the dancefloor. The set draws on their EPs and on the albums The Omnitone Collection and Swimming Static, reshaping studio tracks with elastic beats and melodic turns that open up in real time. Expect a fluid journey from intimate motifs to wider atmospheres, with the trio’s tight interplay and sense of dynamics giving each piece a fresh contour. Bristol roots, club energy, and a clear taste for evolving arrangements define this date at The Prospect Building.
