Boris live in Bristol

Experience Boris live on October 10th

Japanese experimental rock band Boris will perform at Strange Brew in Bristol, United Kingdom on October 10, 2026. Boris is known for a highly diverse sound, initially rooted in heavy metal and drone music, but evolving to encompass elements of shoegaze, psychedelic rock, noise, and even pop. Their discography is extensive and characterized by extreme volume, lengthy instrumental passages, and a blurring of genre boundaries; albums often explore themes of weight, abstraction and the sublime. The band frequently utilizes dynamic shifts between quiet ambience and crushing distortion.

Strange Brew is a relatively new independent venue located in the Stokes Croft area of Bristol, opening in late 2022. It occupies the former site of The Plough pub and quickly established itself as a popular spot for alternative music, art, and community events. The venue is known for its intimate setting and focus on showcasing emerging and underground artists alongside more established names. It features a small stage space alongside a bar area and often hosts events spanning genres like post-punk, experimental electronic music, and indie rock. Strange Brew aims to be an inclusive space supporting local creatives.
