⭐HENGE Teleporting to GuilFest Sunday 5th July!⭐

We are so excited and honored to have HENGE performing on the main stage at GuilFest 26!

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.

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.

They will be joined by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, The Proclaimers, Rudimental, Lottery Winners, Kula Shaker, Kid Creole & the Coconuts, Haircut 100, Inspiral Carpets, ABC, Tiffany, Heather Small, T’Pau and many more fabulous acts.

GuilFest takes place on Saturday, 4th July and Sunday, 5th July at Stoke Park in Guildford. Tickets sold out last year, we’d hate for you to miss out, so secure your tickets now before they sell out!
