Big Thief - Somersault Slide 360 Tour

Big Thief bring the Somersault Slide 360 Tour to Malkin Bowl in Vancouver on September 25, 2026. Formed in Brooklyn around singer and guitarist Adrianne Lenker, with Buck Meek on guitar, Max Oleartchik on bass and James Krivchenia on drums, the quartet moves between hushed folk and rough‑edged indie rock, anchored by Lenker’s intimate voice and pared‑back guitar lines. After Masterpiece and Capacity set their early frame, the switch to 4AD widened the lens with U.F.O.F., more vaporous and lightly psychedelic, then Two Hands, recorded in a drier, stage‑ready spirit. In 2022, the double album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You folded in lo‑fi pop, rural folk and alternative rock without losing the group’s grain.

On stage, these materials stay flexible: songs stretch or tighten, dynamics shift quickly, and the band’s interplay favors feel over polish. Expect a set drawing across their catalogue, from early raw cuts to recent explorations, held together by an earthy rhythm section and guitars that blur the lines at the edges.
