I See Stars have been on the go for almost 20 years, so it's amazing that they've not managed a headline show in Glasgow before now.

With two tours ing Kris Barras this time, last year and Wednesday 13 six months later, alongside playing pretty much every Summer festival between those two tours, they’ve … Continue reading Gig Review: South of Salem / High Parasite / In Search of Sun – KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton (3rd April 2025)
