Blank Manuskript - Award winning rock band return from Salzburg
+ support from Forgotten Gods & Dandelion Charm - Note 8pm stage time
The most highly regarded artrock band from Austria - BLANK MANUSKRIPT seems to be a musical chamber of wonder – internationally successful with uncompromisingly bizarre rock music, the ensemble gained a unique reputation. This date is one of only four UK gigs this year
Their music is characterized by its sophisticated symphonic arrangements as well as extensive psychedelic improvisations, thus rocking our everyday listening habits. Blank Manuskript creates music paired with mystical-vivid lyrics to transfer its audience into flamboyant musical spheres that have a unique effect on the listeners. Socio-critical escapism unites with creative excellence, creating contemporary programmatic rock music for insiders and seekers, far beyond the inhuman banality of the media-machine.
Support from FORGOTTEN GODS; a new band whose sound brings together elements of Classic Rock, Progressive & Neo Progressive Rock, and even hints of Electronica & Folk. At all times the music strives to be melodic & tells stories or paints audio pictures. Forgotten Gods have already appeared at major UK prog festivals to great acclaim, and their debut album ‘Memories’ was released in October 2024.
Support also from DANDELION CHARM from Newhaven, who blend folk, prog and rock, with a sound reminiscent of the late ’60s and early ’70’s. Think Fleetwood Mac meets Opeth, CSN meets Yes. Intricate harmonies and epic outros tell emotional stories of disfunction, joy and despair.

Blackheart Orchestra - The second visit for this astounding duo
This is the second visit to Abingdon for Blackheart Orchestra. Comprising two multi-instrumentalists they lay claim to being the world’s smallest orchestra. Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington play 13 instruments between them and were an astounding act to watch perform on their last visit in March 2024. The duo has released eight albums together. The music paints vast soundscapes with elements of rock, electronica, pop and even folk evoking dramatic aural imagery that captures the listener wrapping them in its spellbinding warmth. It is difficult to compare a band of such originality accurately to another, but one can hear hints of Depeche Mode, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, Claanad, Tangerine Dream & Pink Floyd.
