432 Presents: HENGE

14+ (under 16s with an adult) Attention Humans! This is HENGE. We are not from this world. We bring you music from distant planets. We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space. Extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE have been delighting audiences across  the UK and Europe since landing on Planet Earth over a decade ago. Their  scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the  Independent Festival Awards. With four acclaimed albums and their own comic  book series expanding the HENGE mythos, they continue to spread their  message of unity and joy wherever they touch down. Their latest album, *Journey to Voltus B,* expands their intergalactic  mythology with a conceptually ambitious release that features a novel twist  - a double-groove vinyl pressing that offers two possible endings,  depending on where the needle lands. The album has received glowing  reviews, sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and earned radio  support from BBC 6 Music tastemakers including Stuart Maconie, Deb Grant,  and Craig Charles.  The music escapes definition, but occupies a space between rave and prog  rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and  invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’.  Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences  feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures. Why do we have a restoration Levy?  Put very simply, our restoration levy is an additional charge added to your ticket price which is directly invested back into the venue. This money is used for critical maintenance, repairs, and preservation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of the building. As the 3rd oldest church building in Glasgow, dating back to 1836, Saint Luke's requires ongoing care and special restoration to maintain its historic character and facilities. This levy will enable us to fund essential projects that will safeguard the venue's future as a vibrant hub for live music and community events. If you would like to be kept up to date on progress with how we are using this fund then please follow us on social media @stlukesglasgow, and sign up to our mailing list where we will send out quarterly updates on the improvements that your donations are helping us make.
