Trailblazing Post Hardcore Prog visionaries Thrice are heading to the UK next month.
The six UK dates in support of their latest album Horizons/ West, takes in almost every part of the union (sorry, Northern Ireland), kicks off at one of my favourite venues, Cardiff Tramshed on 13th March, before winding itself around England, with a quick date in Glasgow, before wrapping on 19th March at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Serving as a companion to 2021’s Horizons/East, Horizons/ West continues the band’s bold sonic exploration and philosophical depth by blending cinematic post-rock textures, intricate rhythms, and the raw urgency that defined Thrice’s early work, offering an album that’s equal parts introspection and confrontation.
Steadfast and straightforward creative conviction has guided Thrice since they emerged in the late ’90s with a sound that combined hardcore grit and progressive ambition, establishing themselves as pioneers among their post-hardcore peers. From the underground punk scene to major labels and influential indie labels, with a rich catalog of intense, meaningful, and emotionally driven albums, Thrice is a singular entity that gains more significance with each new release among their fans. Dustin Kensrue (vocals/guitar), Teppei Teranishi (guitar), Eddie Breckenridge (bass), and Riley Breckenridge (drums) consistently evolve in sound and substance. From their earliest releases to the bold exploration over more than 20 years of material, Thrice built a reputation as a band for musicians and songwriters, and a group with consistent integrity willing to take artistic and commercial risks.
If you haven’t seen Thrice live before, if you are a fan of Post Hardcore, as we are in this humble little berg, grab some tickets and go. You will not be disappointed. As we wrote during their 2022 tour with Coheed and Cambria, they are “transcendental”.
