Chalk

Chalk have carved out a distinctive niche within the UK's current post-punk resurgence. Emerging from Belfast in 2019, the group melds the urgent, angular sonics of post-punk with the energy and rhythm of dance-punk—a combination that continues to fuel their growing reputation on the live circuit. Their catalogue features tracks such as "Bliss", "Kevlar", and "Conditions," each revealing a sharp sense of dynamics and atmosphere that sets Chalk apart in a crowded field.

Their recent live music appearances highlight both their headline credentials and their appeal as a support act among major players. In July 2026, Chalk headlined the iconic Electric Ballroom in London, and have brought their immersive show to key venues including Limelight 1 in Belfast. Their festival presence is equally notable; they performed in support of Caribou at Beyond The Pale festival in Ireland in June 2026, sharing the bill with celebrated acts like Groove Armada DJ Set, Moodymann, and Princess Nokia.

Chalk’s influence and ambition are evident in their forthcoming role supporting Fontaines D.C. across major UK arenas—including The O2 in London, AO Arena in Manchester, and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro—in November 2026. With a string of compelling releases and a reputation for electrifying gigs, Chalk remain one to watch closely.
