Emerging from Osaka's underground scene, TAMIW (pronunciation: tamyū) are a left-field electronic band fused with live instruments, formed in 2018 by vocalist Tami, known for blending ambient textures, bass music, and alternative pop into a distinctive, immersive sound.

This is a ticketed event, tickets available from here:

TAMIW's music is created at "Hidden Place," a studio set within a temple and animal cemetery where members of the band also work-an environment that deeply influences their atmospheric and emotional style. After gaining attention through a U.S. tour and a standout appearance at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL's ROOKIE A GO-GO stage, they continued to evolve with releases including future exercise, Floating Girls, and Fight for Innocence. Their latest album, Farewell Party (2024), expands their sound further with rich analog synths, sampling, and hip-hop elements, alongside new member Taichi. Now bringing their unique live show to London, TAMIW offer a rare chance to experience one of Japan's most intriguing experimental acts:

Supporting are Pærish, a powerful 4-piece band from Paris, France, known for their tight, intense and highly engaging live performances.
The band is currently preparing a new album set for release in Summer 2026 via SideOneDummy Records, produced by Will Yip (Turnstile**), marking a major new step in their international development.
Over the past few years, Pærish have built a strong live reputation, touring extensively across Europe, the UK, and North America,
and sharing the stage with Sum 41, Movements, Alkaline Trio, Landmvrks, The Raveonettes, and Superheaven, as well as performing at major festivals such as Resurrection Fest.
On stage, Pærish deliver a raw, emotional and high-impact set, combining melody and intensity — a format that connects strongly with both club and festival audiences:
