Starbenders

Starbenders bring The Beast Goes On Tour to Downstairs At The Dome in London on 12 June 2026. Formed in Atlanta, the quartet blends glam flair with hard rock edges and power-pop melodies, anchored by sharp guitars and direct hooks. Singer-guitarist Kimi Shelter leads with Aaron Lecesne on bass, Kriss Tokaji on guitar and Qi Wei on drums, a line-up that channels 70s-tinged textures while keeping the focus on the song.

The set draws from Love Potions (2020) and Take Back the Night (2023), with earlier titles from Heavy Petting and the JULIAN and Japanese Rooms EPs. Tight riffs, stacked harmonies and driving rhythms shape the show, moving between fast, stomping cuts and slower nocturnal turns. After tours across the US and internationally, the band delivers lean arrangements, clear vocals and concise solos, with choruses built on immediate melodies. The Beast Goes On marks the current chapter of Starbenders on stage, their glam-informed rock played up close at Downstairs At The Dome.
