Update from Galaxians: May 2023

It’s been a while since our last bulletin, but we’re thrilled to share a couple of performance announcements for June and July.

9/10 June will see the final ever Long Division festival take place in Wakefield. LD is an institution in the city and we’ll be sad to see it go. We’ve been lucky to have experienced some of our most memorable and fun performances at the festival, including our first ever show with Emma on vocals in the unique setting of Neon Workshops.

On 7 July we play El Dorado festival at Eastnor Castle in rural Herefordshire, alongside a huge lineup of acts such as Crazy P Soundsystem, Sampa the Great and Shanti Celeste.  Regrettably we have had to cancel our appearance at El Dorado this year due to unforeseen circumstances – hopefully we will be back in 2024.

Then on 8 July we will share a stage with Factory Records legends A Certain Ratio at Right to Roam festival in Bolton.

Tickets for both events are available here:

We can also announce with much excitement that we will start work on recording our third album in July this year at Hohm Studio in West Yorkshire with our friend, producer and long-term collaborator Ross Halden. Writing is still in the early stages, but we’re already excited about being able to share the new songs and recordings with you. Watch this space.

As ever, we’d like to express our heartfelt thanks for all the support we’ve received on the Bandcamp Fridays to date. For us, music-making is a lifelong journey. Your support helps facilitate the journey and as DIY / independent / unsigned artists your investment means the world to us.

The music industry treats music like sport. We say it isn’t. Music is collaboration, community, sharing. A communal exchange we all benefit from.

Love and peace
