The English art rock quintet makes their Hall debut in celebration of Rough Trade's 50th Anniversary and in commemoration of their first decade as a band.

Formed in Brighton in 2016, the quintet of Louis Borlase, Arthur Leadbetter, Laurie Nankivell, Anton Pearson and Ollie Judge have spent the past decade cementing their reputation as one of the most inventive bands in art rock, known for their ever evolving performances. 

Praised by The Quietus as ‘the most exciting and volatile the group has ever sounded’, Squid’s latest album Cowards is an exploration of evil; nine stories whose protagonists reckon with cults, charisma and apathy. The album ranges over textures of folk, kosmische, psychedelia, jazz and electronics, extending from an acclaimed catalogue of chart-topping hits that marked a new era of experimentation in British guitar music.

The London-based electronic group Factory Floor opens the show.
