Swans tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• I was in Swans concert in 2023 which took place in a church. 120 dB sound level and specific church acoustics made it sound like unbearably loud and static noise. Nearly whole concert was just a loud noise (when no separate guitar sounds or vocal was properly heard). Personaly, I would better prefer listening Swans records than live, in records that noise is in a background and I can hear more than it.

• One third to the concert I was on the brink of an anxiety attack. Half way through, I had to leave prematurely. Too much bad ambient&drone long streched sequences, not enough hypnoticism to get into it, but also lack of inventive disparateness of music ala Captain Beefheart to enjoy it. The result: post traumatic stress, had to drink two beers to calm myself down. I should have gone shitfaced like the last year, when I really had a blast.

• Inimitable. Perhaps the loudest and most euphoric concert I've ever witnessed. Only 6 songs, but each was as big as the universe. Michael Gira was on life-affirming form, the band behind him are peerless. Such a shame this line-up will never be seen in London again!
