Sea Power at Chalk

Sea Power are playing at Chalk on Thursday 22 October 2026. The concert is part of the venue's seventh-anniversary celebrations, marking a significant milestone for the space. They are bringing along Pictish Trail as support, with further guests still to be announced for the bill.

The band, formerly known as British Sea Power, has been active for over 25 years. Across that time, they have released seven studio albums. Their work has reached beyond traditional indie rock, notably including the soundtrack for the video game Disco Elysium, which earned them a BAFTA. This project highlighted their ability to create atmospheric, instrumental-heavy soundscapes that resonate outside of their standard studio releases. It is a testament to their longevity that they have managed to maintain a consistent creative output while evolving their sound across more than two decades.

They describe their own sound as 'High Church Amplified Rock'. It is a style that moves between beauty and noise, often described as cinematic, glacial, and majestic. This specific approach to their music—balancing delicate, quiet moments with sudden, loud, and expansive instrumentation—is what they have been refining throughout their career. It is music that aims to fill a space, whether that is a large festival stage or an intimate venue like this one.

Their live shows are known for being theatrical. They often incorporate environmental elements into the performance, such as using foliage and fog to create an immersive experience. This approach to their stage presence has been a consistent part of their identity over their two-and-a-half decades of performing, turning their gigs into something more than just a standard set of songs. It is a deliberate effort to change the atmosphere of the room.

The event begins at 18:00. Tickets are priced at £26.75. There is a 14+ age restriction in place for the show.
