English rock band BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD will arrive to Finland this year as a part of their new European Tour 2026. The concert will take place on April 14th in Helsinki at Ääniwalli.

BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD was formed in Cambridge in 2018. Originally founded by Tyler Hyde (vocals, bass), Lewis Evans (vocals, flute, saxophone), Georgia Ellery (violin, backing vocals), May Kershaw (vocals, keyboards), Charlie Wayne (drums, backing vocals) and Isaac Wood (guitar, lead vocals), they added their then-seventh member, guitarist Luke Mark, in 2019.

BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD‘s musical style has been described as experimental rock, post-punk and post-rock. Their music is characterised by a fusion of diverse genres and compositional approaches. While rooted in the dissonant intensity and angular rhythms of post-punk, the band incorporates a wide array of influences that set them apart from more conventional rock acts. Their early sound was frequently compared to 1990s experimental rock groups such as SLINT. It has also been described as «genre-scrambling» and «deconstructed rock canvas». They have also incorporated stylistic elements from klezmer, British folk, progressive rock, and minimal music. Their third studio album «Forever Howlong» was released last year via Ninja Tune.
