Henge to bring psychedelic electronic rock to Tallinn

Manchester group Henge will perform at Paavli Culture Factory, a cultural venue in Tallinn, on November 16, 2027, ERR reports. The band combines psychedelic progressive rock, electronic dance music and science-fiction theatre.

Formed in Manchester in 2015, Henge has created a musical universe blending progressive rock, psychedelia and rave culture. Its members perform as fictional extraterrestrial characters: singer and guitarist Zpor, bassist Goo, synth player Sol and drummer Nom. In the band’s story, they have come from distant galaxies to spread peace and prepare humanity for life beyond Earth.

Their live shows combine intense instrumental music, electronic rhythms, costumes and visuals inspired by science-fiction films. The group has also expanded its fictional world into a comic series made with artists, including Boo Cook, an illustrator who has worked on the British cult comic 2000 AD.

Henge’s albums include “Attention Earth!” (2018), “ExoKosm” (2020), “Alpha Test 4” (2023) and “Journey to Voltus B” (2025). The last is a concept album about a space journey to a planet whose inhabitants face the discovery of nuclear energy. Its vinyl edition has two parallel grooves on side B, leading to different endings: one in which the civilisation uses nuclear fusion peacefully, and another in which nuclear winter arrives. The ending depends on which groove the record player’s needle follows.

The band’s fifth studio album, “Humans,” is due out in early 2027 and turns its focus from outer space to Earth’s human inhabitants. The Tallinn concert is part of a tour comprising 75 shows.
