Pigeon

Afro-rock/disco/jazz group from UK

Pigeon, hailing from Margate, UK, are a group carving out an exciting niche at the intersection of afro rock, disco, grunge, and no wave. Their sound is characterised by high-energy rhythms and genre-blurring experimentation, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive live music outfits on the circuit. With a recent presence on festival stages such as Glastonbury 2023 and support from Third Man Records, Pigeon’s progressive approach has put them on the radar of discerning fans and tastemakers alike.

The band’s studio craft is evident in releases such as their acclaimed EPs "Yagana" and "Backslider," as well as the full-length album "OUTTANATIONAL" set for release in April 2026. Their catalogue features tracks like "Infinity," "Black James Dean," and "Caramel," which showcase the band’s flair for dancefloor grooves and radical sonic ideas. Recent gigs have seen Pigeon supporting Altin Gün in March 2026 at both London’s Assembly Hall and Koko, while also headlining shows at iconic venues including Brudenell Social Club in Leeds and The George Tavern in London.

Pigeon’s ability to captivate live audiences will next be on display across a series of prominent dates, notably when they join Duran Duran on tour in October 2026 at renowned UK arenas, as well as a headline show at Village Underground, London, in January 2027. For enthusiasts of esoteric grooves and forward-thinking live music, following Pigeon and keeping an eye on their upcoming gigs is essential.
