Announced this morning (October 7), the new concerts will see the Texas trio head across the pond for what will include their biggest headline show in the UK of their career. It’ll take place at West London’s Gunnersbury Park next year as part of the annual summer series.
Held on Friday August 15, it’ll see Laura Lee Ochoa, Mark Speer, and DJ Johnson joined by TV On The Radio as special guests.
New dates have also been shared for Cologne and Halifax, taking place on August 19 and 24 respectively.
The announcement comes as Khruangbin shared their fourth studio album, ‘A La Sala’, earlier this year. The album was given a glowing four-star review from NME, and described as seeing the band capture “a stripped-back but still potent sound”.
For TV On The Radio, the support slot comes after the band recently announced their first live shows in five years, as well as a 20th-anniversary re-issue of their debut album ‘Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes’.
Tickets for the new shows go on sale this Friday (October 11) at 10am BST. Find a full list of upcoming Khruangbin shows below, and visit here for UK tickets, and here for international dates.

Before the release of ‘A La Sala’, the American trio worked with singer-songwriter Leon Bridges on a second collaborative EP, entitled ‘Texas Moon’, back in 2022.
The latest project marked their first original music as a band since 2020, aside from various remixes.
The band also graced NME‘s cover back in 2020. Speaking about their perceived rapid rise to fame at the time, the band’s Laura Lee said: “You have no idea how long it’s going to last when you’re starting out. The whole of last year was a real ‘Holy shit!’ moment. We set out to be a worldwide band – and we got it.”
This year’s Gunnersbury Park series saw performances from nu-metal icons KoRn – who played their biggest London show to date and first UK set in seven years – as well as PJ Harvey, Tom Grennan, Peggy Gou and FISHER.
