Elder Island

On Friday 30 October 2026 at Belgrave Music Hall in Leeds, Elder Island bring their richly layered take on indie and electronica to the stage. Formed in Bristol by Katy Sargent, Luke Thornton and David Havard, the trio shape songs by accumulation: supple rhythms, heavy low end, airy textures, and Sargent’s voice holding the center. Their sound slides between indie pop, downtempo currents and discreet funk inflections, keeping a steady groove without losing the melodic thread.

The set draws across their EPs and their albums The Omnitone Collection (2019) and Swimming Static (2020), where songwriting, pulse and enveloping atmospheres meet. Live, Elder Island fold guitars, synths and samplers into patterns that grow and shift, edging from intimate motifs to broader swells with a clear sense of space. Years spent moving between concert venues and club-minded stages — from London’s Roundhouse to New York’s Bowery Ballroom and on festival circuits — have honed a show that balances precision and flow. At Belgrave Music Hall, expect a focused performance that carries both the tactility of a band and the momentum of the dancefloor.
