Cassia

Cassia bring their sun‑lit indie pop to O2 Academy Bristol on 5 November 2026. Formed in Macclesfield, the trio have carved out a lean, melodic sound built on clean, interlocking guitars, supple percussion and a voice that glides between warmth and introspection. Their writing blends British pop sensibility with rhythms inspired by African and tropical music, favouring grooves that move with ease and melodies that linger without leaning on heavy effects.

On stage, the band extend the light‑and‑shade of songs from Replica (2019) and Why You Lacking Energy? (2022), folding in newer material that nudges their production forward without losing the direct pull of their early singles and EPs. Tight interplay and rhythmic warmth frame a sequence that shifts from road‑tested favourites to more reflective cuts, echoing the travel themes and sense of motion that run through their catalogue.

Guitar lines stay bright, hooks understated, and grooves danceable without hurry, a balance that keeps the room buoyant while giving the lyrics space.
