Mimi Barks

Saturday, September 12, 2026 - O2 Academy2 Islington, London

• Mimi Barks
• Kite Thief

Mimi Barks brings her show to O2 Academy2 Islington on 12 September 2026, topping a bill that also features Bristol five-piece Kite Thief. Known for their explosive blend of cathartic energy, unrelenting riffs and powerful rhythms, Kite Thief’s live sets balance rage with a sense of playful release. Their catalogue includes the “Ambiviolent” EP and the single “Arrows Fly”, channelling influences such as Spiritbox, Holding Absence and Vukovi into hook-heavy, high-impact songs. With Kite Thief opening the night, this performance puts a hard-edged, modern heavy sound into the compact upstairs room of the north London venue.
