Birmingham Psychedelic Culture & Plant Medicine Meetup Group

Stoke On Trent's the Crystal Teardrop are bringing their '60s influenced brand of guitar pop to Birmingham as part of the Night Owl's regular psychedelic music night Freak Out. Influenced by the classic sounds of Jefferson Airplane, the Move, and early Pink Floyd, the Crystal Teardrop released their debut album in 2025 "The Crystal Teardrop... Is Forming" on Rise Above Records.

There will also be DJs playing '60s music and a light show.

Tickets are £8 advanced from the link below or £10 on the door.

The Sunday social is a laid-back, casual gathering designed for socialising and fostering learning about the benefits of Psychedelics and Plant Medicines. It's a chance to connect, make new friends, and say hello!

Cherry Reds serve coffee and a variety of craft beers and soft drinks. They also have a food menu which includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.

Ps I've set the Meetup for 2 hours, but people are obviously welcome to come and go as they please.

A psychedelic rock group from Japan, Acid Mothers Temple have been playing trippy psychedelic instrumental jams since 1995. They are playing a show at the Hare & Hounds on the final Sunday in April so for this one we will be combining our usual food and drinks social with some live music. H&H can be quite a loud and busy at the weekends so we will have drinks at a different pub before heading over sometime around half 7 (I will update the event description closer to the time to confirm but it will probably be the Station which is a short 10 minute walk from H&H). If you don't want to attend the gig but just want to join us for a drink beforehand you are also welcome.

Though I haven't seen Acid Mothers Temple live myself before I am aware that they have a reputation for being very loud. If you are going to attend the gig you may wish to wear earplugs. Take care of your ears.
