The Horrors erupted from Southend-on-Sea’s underground in 2005, fusing garage punk, gothic rock, and neo-psychedelia into a genre-defining sound. Their debut Strange House introduced a raw, theatrical edge, while Primary Colours and Skying pushed into post-punk and shoegaze territory with standout tracks like “Sea Within a Sea” and “Still Life.” With each release, including the critically acclaimed V and their latest album Night Life, The Horrors have evolved into one of the UK’s most boundary-pushing alternative rock acts.
On stage, The Horrors deliver a commanding live experience marked by atmospheric intensity and sonic depth. They've toured extensively across Europe, North America, and Australia, performing at major festivals like Primavera Sound and Reading and Leeds, and headlining venues from O2 Forum London to National Stadium Dublin. Their concerts are known for immersive visuals and emotionally charged performances that captivate both longtime fans and new audiences.
Currently touring in support of Night Life, The Horrors continue to redefine the post-punk landscape with a loyal international fanbase and a reputation for electrifying live shows. Their influence spans genres and generations, cementing their status as a cultural phenomenon in modern rock.
