Temples

Temples moves forward with the spirit of exploration that has defined them since their beginnings. Formed in Kettering, the British quartet brings together James Bagshaw (vocals, guitar), Thomas Walmsley (bass), Adam Smith (keyboards, guitar) and Rens Ottink (drums). With BLISS, their fifth album, the band shifts its bearings by opening the door to an electronic dimension without renouncing its psychedelic DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies inherited from late-1990s dance, looping riffs, vocal harmonies and keyboard textures mingle to craft a direct, mobile sound.

On 17 October 2026 at the Trianon in Paris, Temples will present this new chapter on stage. Expect synthetic pulses and layered guitar washes, a driving rhythm that pushes forward, and psych-pop colors that stretch out—like a bridge between their roots and this new electronic metamorphosis. A live show designed to bring the momentum of the dancefloor together with the psychedelic obsessions that have shaped the band’s identity.
