Sensoria Festival

TICKETS ON SALE NOW https://see.tickets/plaid

We're delighted to be welcoming Plaid to Sensoria for a live audio visual performance on 23rd October.
Plaid are monumental cornerstones for any self-respecting electronic music fan; having also worked under aliases including The Black Dog and Balil - not to mention their work with Bjork. Playful and wondrous, their 11th album Feorm Falorx sounds both cutting edge, and also warm, human and nostalgic - purveying a sort of high-tech-retro-futurism.

With thanks to Sensoria's supporters

Buy tickets for Plaid & NikNak at Hangr Warehouse from the official retailer, See Tickets.
