USU pres.: GONG | Neue Zukunft - 22.11.2026

Legendary 70s canterbury weirdo prog rock ensemble GONG returns with a new record to Berlin! Unlimited Sonic Use presents: GONG - UK | Kscope https://www.planetgong.co.uk/ Genre: 70's Canterbury Avantgarde Prog Rock FFO: Camel, Caravan, Gentle Giant, Genesis Gong in 2026 features the longest-running line-up of this legendary international psychedelic band. The universe of Gong was created in 1969 by Daevid Allen, following a profound psychedelic vision. A founder member of Soft Machine, Allen wove his spiritual and metaphysical leanings into an evolving collective, more a mythology than a band in the conventional sense. Gong established itself as one of the most unique, innovative and experimental rock groups of the Seventies, with an experimental mix of rock, jazz, psychedelia and elements of mysticism and surrealism, all laced with a far-out sense of humour. The current incarnation, who were put together by Daevid for his swansong album with Gong, ‘I See You’, continue to honour his final intent: to take the band “into new unknown heights and depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself”. They have composed, recorded and toured together for eleven years since Allen’s passing and they continue to espouse the ethics, attitude and lifestyle that was always at the heart of the band. This dynamic, powerful and explosive live band continue to tour internationally, including visits to China, USA, Europe, Brazil and Japan. They have released the albums ‘Rejoice! I’m Dead!’ (2016), ‘The Universe Also Collapses’ (2019), ‘Pulsing Signals’ (2021),‘Unending Ascending’ (2023), and now ‘Bright Spirit’ (2026), all on Kscope.
