Mushroomhead

Mushroomhead bring their masked, multi-vocal industrial metal theatre back to the UK. Formed in Cleveland in 1993 around drummer and founder Steve “Skinny” Felton, the collective fuses alternative and industrial metal with electronic textures, hip-hop pulses and heavy, syncopated percussion. On stage, the show layers multiple voices, samples and the group’s trademark water drums, with masks and costumes framing a tense, cinematic atmosphere.

At The 1865 in Southampton on 11 August 2026, the band draw from across their catalogue, reaching from the early self-released era and the breakthrough of XX and XIII to recent chapters like A Wonderful Life and Call the Devil. Expect sharp tempo shifts, call-and-response vocals and percussive interludes, with riff-led sections locking in the groove. In a club setting, the proximity turns their mix of rhythm, texture and theatre into something direct and physical, while the visual production tightens the narrative thread that runs through their records and long-running live identity.
