As part of the Mercury Prize Fringe 2026, powered by Generator. Tyne & Queer present BONG II With THRAA + GREET at The Cluny² Tuesday 20th Oct 2026. 7:30pm FFO: Mogwai/Swans/Godspeed You! Black Emperor/Sonic Youth/Dinosaur Jr./Sunn o)))/Pigs x7 Bong II (Newcastle, UK) Bong II is the next chapter of the much loved drone band Bong. The band brings back drummer Mike Smith and vocalist/bassist Dawn Terry, now joined by Daniel Foggin of Newcastle's Smote.Bong II builds on hypnotic sound of Bong while taking it in a new direction with continuing their love of crushing riffs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thraa (Manchester, UK) Working without the constrictions of a traditionally structured song, this duo improvise around meditative drones, combining Sunn 0))) influenced guitars with soaring vocals. Making single take recordings, they capture an organic sense of sound that has cavernous textures with minimalism at heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ GREET (Leeds, UK) Greet retains the elements that made their previous works so successful (among others, the long dronic harmonium passages, of course) while adopting a different approach (notably with the addition of more reverbing and hovering effects). We land amidst verdant folk landscapes, cozy taverns, and more mystical, allegorical fields, conducive to intangible reflection and connections. The result remains a beautiful, striking and powerful Dark-Folk #ThisCitySings #MercuryPrizeFringe2026
