Kirkos live in Gainesville

Experience Kirkos live on July 24th

Kirkos is scheduled to perform at Blackstrap Rock Hall in Gainesville, Florida on July 24, 2026. Kirkos blends elements of progressive metal with djent and jazz fusion, characterized by complex rhythmic structures, technically proficient instrumentation, and atmospheric soundscapes. Their discography includes three studio albums – *Aetherium* (2018), *Chronosync* (2021), and *Nullspace* (2024) – all released independently. The band currently consists of Elias Thorne (guitar), Anya Volkov (bass), and Ben Carter (drums).

Blackstrap Rock Hall is a privately-owned, independent music venue located in the historic Mill Creek district of Gainesville. Originally constructed in 1938 as a molasses storage facility—hence the name “Blackstrap”—the building was repurposed into a live music space in 1995 by local musician Robert “Bob” Elkins. It has since become known for hosting a diverse range of musical acts, particularly those within the alternative and independent rock scenes.
