Cloud Studies return to London for the first time in a year, bringing their immersive, panoramic blend of shoegaze, indie and post-punk gothgaze to The Castle in Aldgate. Known for their reverb-drenched sound and visually rich live shows, the band combine melodic songwriting with textured guitars and atmospheric video projections to create a transportive audiovisual experience. The band include Adam Cresswell (of Saloon & Rodney Cromwell) on bass and vocals, Michael Malley (of Fierce Panda's Pullover) on guitar and visual artist Martin J Langthorne (Solemn Arcade) on guitar,

They’re joined by Birmingham’s Falling and Laughing, whose inventive indiepop balances jangly melody, post-rock textures and a playful DIY spirit, and Sheffield duo Pink Opaque, delivering glittery, synth-driven futurepop full of joy, hooks and late-night energy.

A night of atmosphere, melody and contrast from reverb-drenched haze to shimmering electronic pop all tied together with an indie DIY sensibility.
