Boris live in Glasgow

Experience Boris live on October 12th

Boris, a Japanese experimental rock band formed in 1992, will perform at Oran Mor in Glasgow, United Kingdom on October 12, 2026. The group’s music is notoriously difficult to categorize, evolving over their career to encompass elements of drone, doom metal, shoegaze, psychedelic rock, and noise. While initially rooted in heavy metal and grunge influences inspired by bands like Melvins and Black Sabbath, Boris frequently shifts between extreme heaviness and delicate ambient textures within single compositions and across albums. They are known for extended instrumental passages and a dynamic range that explores both crushing volume and quiet minimalism.

Oran Mor is a Grade A listed Victorian-era church building located in the West End of Glasgow. Originally Kelvingrove Parish Church, completed in 1862 by architect William Brough, it ceased functioning as a church in 1965. After a period of disuse and potential demolition, it was extensively renovated and reopened in 1998 as a multi-purpose venue.
