British rock band
Soft Machine stand as pioneers of British acid rock and art rock, their influence reverberating throughout the UK music scene since their formation in 1966. Known for their adventurous sonic palette, Soft Machine have been at the heart of progressive music movements for decades, weaving together psychedelia, jazz fusion, and experimental rock to create a sound that remains compelling for discerning listeners. Their continued evolution is evident in albums such as "Other Doors" (2023) and "Hidden Details" (2018), showcasing their drive for innovation and musical excellence.
The band’s recent live performances have kept their legacy alive, with energetic headline concerts at venues like London’s New Cross Inn and Backstage Kinross, reaffirming their place on the UK’s live music circuit. Looking ahead to late 2026, Soft Machine are slated for a diverse array of UK gigs—headlining the Hertford Corn Exchange and Sub Rooms in Stroud, while also supporting notable acts such as Colosseum at venues including Cadogan Hall and 1865 in Southampton. Their appearance supporting KULA SHAKER at Cambridge’s Corn Exchange for the “Celebration of Syd Barrett” event is a testament to their enduring relevance and wide appeal within the live music community.
With an eagerly anticipated new single "Disappear" set for release in February 2026, Soft Machine continue to expand their impressive catalogue, offering fresh material for both long-time followers and new fans.
