Texan trio Khruangbin today announce their largest UK headline show to date, set to take place at Gunnersbury Park, London, on Friday 15 August 2025. The highly anticipated open-air show will be a career milestone for the band, who welcome, in support, the acclaimed New York-based band and longtime friends TV On The Radio, who return triumphantly after a period away from the live stage.
Khruangbin, since their founding, has walked a path of free expression and artistry that tests the limits. Anchored by bassist Laura Lee, guitarist Mark Speer, and drummer Donald Johnson, this ensemble has taken its cue for its unique music from 1960s Thai funk, where their name Khruangbin originates.
Their music is hypnotic, fusing together bass-heavy grooves, psychedelic textures, surf-rock cool, and cinematic flair à la Quentin Tarantino soundtracks. On a mission to create music that crosses cultural borders, Khruangbin pulls from every corner of the world: Middle Eastern melodies, Latin rhythms, and African funk blend into their sonic palette.
To Khruangbin, every show is never just a gig; rather, it is communal. And that’s exactly what Londoners should expect next summer when the trio takes to the stage at Gunnersbury Park. Seamless playing from the instruments transports one into near meditation during their live shows, with the effect of having a party-like feel in their sensational performance.
Adding to the excitement, TV On The Radio will join as a special guest. This Brooklyn-based outfit, known for their eclectic blend of rock, soul, and electronic influences, has just announced its long-awaited return to live performances. Their inclusion promises a night filled with innovation, energy, and unforgettable performances.
The rise of Khruangbin has been nothing but phenomenal, with complete disregard for the conventions of pop. Introspective, with a deep connection to the world around them, their ethos is underpinned by the ability to channel life experiences into art. Their upcoming Gunnersbury Park show is set to be a culmination of this journey—a celebration of creativity, community, and the unifying power of music.
