The Ninth Wave

The Ninth Wave, hailing from Glasgow, have been a compelling presence in the British noise-pop milieu since 2014. Known for their distinctive marriage of atmospheric soundscapes and emotionally charged songwriting, the group has drawn acclaim with releases such as their 2022 album Heavy Like a Headache and earlier works including Infancy and the Happy Days! EP. The band’s recording portfolio highlights tracks like "Everything Will Be Fine," "Abattoir," and "Body," each revealing their ability to balance raw sonic experimentation with a deeply melodic sensibility.

The Ninth Wave’s commitment to live music remains strong, as evidenced by their scheduled appearances across some of the United Kingdom's most significant venues. In September 2026, the band will take the stage at esteemed locations including Barrowland in Glasgow, Rock City in Nottingham, NX in Newcastle upon Tyne, New Century in Manchester, Electric in Bristol, and Here at Outernet in London. On these occasions, The Ninth Wave joins the bill as a support act alongside VLURE and ESCAPE-ISM, opening for the headlining PRIMLSCRM’s XTRMNTR concert series—an opportunity that positions the band before discerning audiences keen on innovative sounds and dynamic live performances.

For those eager to stay attuned to The Ninth Wave’s ongoing journey through the UK’s live music circuit and to catch their evocative performances, be sure to follow the band and keep an eye out for their latest tour dates and upcoming gigs.
