Experience Hayden Thorpe live on February 9th

Hayden Thorpe will be performing at Hare & Hounds in Birmingham on February 9th, 2027. Thorpe is a British musician formerly of the art-pop band Wild Beasts, now pursuing a solo career. His music is characterised by a distinctive falsetto vocal style, intricate arrangements, and lyrical exploration of themes relating to identity, relationships, and internal landscapes. It blends elements of art rock, electronica, and folk influences, often featuring layered instrumentation and atmospheric soundscapes. Recent work demonstrates a move towards more personal and introspective songwriting.

Hare & Hounds is a well-established independent venue located in Kings Heath, Birmingham. Originally built as a Victorian dog track in 1905, it operated as such until 1963. It was subsequently repurposed as a live music venue and has become known for showcasing emerging and established artists across various genres. The venue comprises two spaces: a larger main room with a capacity of approximately 250 people and a smaller bar area frequently used for more intimate performances or DJ sets. It maintains a reputation for supporting grassroots music and providing a platform for diverse artistic expression within the Birmingham music scene. The building retains some original features from its dog racing past.
