The Icicle Works

Friday, May 21, 2027 - O2 Academy Islington, London

The Icicle Works bring their atmospheric English alternative rock back to O2 Academy Islington on 21 May 2027, with the show presented by academyevents. Emerging in 1980 and named after Frederik Pohl’s short story “The Day the Icicle Works Closed”, the band made their mark with the 1983 UK Top 20 single “Love Is a Wonderful Colour” and the transatlantic hit “Birds Fly”. Their catalogue spans releases such as the “5 Albums” collection and the archival “Lost Icicles” volumes, giving this Islington gig particular appeal for listeners drawn to melodic, guitar-driven alternative rock with a rich backstory.
