FOOTFEST 2026
Voka Gentle feature on the FOOTFEST 2026 bill at HEBDÉN BRIDGE TRADES CLUB.
Formerly "Wovoka Gentle"
Voka Gentle stand out as one of London’s most inventive groups, renowned for their genre-blurring approach and bold sonic experimentation. Emerging in 2014 and formerly known as Wovoka Gentle, the band has attracted acclaim from respected publications, with Uncut describing their work as “hard to classify and even harder not to love.” Their ambitious musical scope is evident across releases such as the immersive album WRITHING! (2021) and their earlier breakout Start Clanging Cymbals (2019), which notably featured “1,000 Opera Singers Working in Starbucks” that found a wider audience through the FIFA ’19 soundtrack.
Anticipation continues to build around their latest projects, with the album Domestic Bliss scheduled for release in February 2026. The group’s recent singles “Creon I” and “Cheddar Man” further showcase their restless creativity, while a collection of remixes from acclaimed artists such as Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Jonathan Snipes (Clipping), Hidden Orchestra, and Sonic Boom, underline the broad appeal and collaborative spirit of Voka Gentle’s oeuvre. Their uniquely immersive blend of sound has earned praise for its ambition and hypnotic qualities from titles such as MOJO and Clash.
Live, Voka Gentle continue to make their mark with standout appearances. In August 2026, they are set to support FEET at FOOTFEST, held at Hebden Bridge Trades Club—affirming their presence within the UK’s eclectic live music circuit. To stay updated on Voka Gentle’s evolving discography and future gigs, follow the band and keep an eye out for their next concert dates and appearances.
