Backseat Promotions Presents: HENGE
with Seas of Mirth & The Severn Collective
18th April 2025 – The Marrs Bar, Worcester
Since materialising in Manchester in 2015, HENGE have been on a mission to spread their intergalactic sounds to Earth’s eager ears. Blending electronic rock with an unearthly twist, the band have coined their own genre – Cosmic Dross – a mind-expanding fusion of psychedelic synths, thumping rhythms, and otherworldly energy.
But HENGE are no ordinary band. Performing as the extra-terrestrial beings Zpor, Goo, Grok, and Nom, they take audiences on a wild sonic voyage through space and time, delivering an electrifying live experience like no other. Their pulsating anthems, including Indigo Dust, New Planet, and Get A Wriggle On, have become cult favourites among fans who revel in their explosive, high-energy shows.
With their reputation for jaw-dropping stagecraft and infectious cosmic anarchy, HENGE have left their mark on festivals such as Glastonbury, Bluedot, and Shambala. Now, the intergalactic emissaries are bringing their unearthly spectacle back to Earth for another unmissable tour. Expect pulsating beats, sci-fi theatrics, and a call for universal peace – because with HENGE, it’s not just music, it’s a mission.
Support comes from the eclectic sound of Seas of Mirth who incorporate elements ranging from worldly dance beats to wonky disco funk and psychedelic prog-folk. Their live performances are renowned for immersive deep-sea themes, featuring UV lights, bubbles, flamboyant white costumes, and LED sea creatures, creating a unique sensory experience. They have graced stages at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Boomtown, and the Isle of Wight.
Your journey starts with The Severn Collective. Born from the bubbling cauldron of Worcester’s music scene and conjured into existence at Nozstock 2023, blending ska, and funk into something that feels less like a performance and more like a ritualistic sound journey through the cosmos.
