Texan trio Khruangbin have today announced their largest UK headline performance to date, set to take place at Gunnersbury Park, London, on Friday 15 August 2025. This highly anticipated open-air show marks a significant milestone for the band, who will be joined by none other than TV On The Radio, the acclaimed New York-based band making their triumphant return to live performances.
From their inception, Khruangbin’s journey has been one of creative independence and boundary-pushing artistry. Composed of Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Johnson on drums, the band’s unique sound has drawn influence from 1960s Thai funk—where their name Khruangbin originates, translating to “engine fly” or “aeroplane” in Thai.
Their music is a hypnotic fusion of bass-heavy grooves, psychedelic textures, surf-rock cool, and cinematic flair that evokes Quentin Tarantino soundtracks. With a mission to craft music that transcends cultural boundaries, Khruangbin incorporates elements from across the globe, blending Middle Eastern melodies, Latin rhythms, and African funk into their sonic palette.
For Khruangbin, every performance is more than just a gig—it’s a communal experience. This ethos will undoubtedly be on display next summer when the trio take to the stage at Gunnersbury Park. Their live shows are known for their seamless instrumental interplay, transporting audiences into an almost meditative state, while still delivering a party-like energy that leaves a lasting impression.
Adding to the excitement, TV On The Radio will join as a special guest. The Brooklyn-based outfit, celebrated for their eclectic mix of rock, soul, and electronic influences, recently announced their long-awaited return to live shows. Their inclusion promises a night filled with innovation, energy, and unforgettable performances.
Khruangbin’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable, marked by a refusal to conform to pop norms. Their ethos is grounded in introspection, a deep connection to the world around them, and 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.
