Famed for their notoriously loud live performances, The Twilight Sad bring a very special, intimate show to The Queen's Hall, featuring stripped-back songs from across their critically acclaimed body of work.

Forged in Kilsyth and honed while touring with idols, The Cure, they describe their bold, dark sound as “folk with layers of noise” and their gigs have an electrifying, intensely moody vibe. Founded by vocalist James Graham and guitarist Andy MacFarlane, and now embracing Johnny Docherty (bass), Brendan Smith (keyboards) and Sebastien Schultz (drums), they describe fifth album It Won’t Be Like This All the Time as a “raw and dynamic take on the stuff of life”.
