Thistle. begin their early 2026 run at sunflower lounge in Birmingham on 26 January, bringing their UK shoegaze sound to an intimate basement setting. The headliners draw on material from singles like "Lomochrome" and "Bitebitebite / Hesitate", alongside tracks leading towards their EP "it's nice to see you, stranger". London band Ain't take the main support slot, following their "Oar / Teething" release, while Little Grandad open the show. It is the first stop of six dates that continue to The Lodge, opoto, Zerox, The Mash House and voodoo daddy's, linking a consistent three-band bill across the country.
