Pale Waves

Pale Waves land in Madrid on September 15, 2026, for a concert at Sala El Sol. Formed in Manchester in 2014, Heather Baron-Gracie (vocals and guitar), Ciara Doran (drums), Hugo Silvani (guitar) and Charlie Wood (bass) have forged a sound that spans indie pop, synth-pop and pop rock, with a recent shift toward a more direct pop‑punk and alternative rock approach.

Since the release of There’s a Honey in 2017 —with the involvement of Matty Healy and George Daniel of The 1975— the band has followed with an EP (All the Things I Never Said) and the albums My Mind Makes Noises, Who Am I? and Unwanted. Between clear melodies, bright guitars and driving synths, their lyrics address relationships, vulnerability and identity, moving naturally from pop gloss to a rougher energy.

Live, Pale Waves condense that trajectory into a compact set: agile riffs, choruses that land on first listen, and a dark aesthetic that has permeated their imagery from the start. From their earliest singles to their most recent tracks, the quartet brings to Madrid a faithful panorama of their evolution, polished on tours across the UK, Europe and North America.
