Barbican Estate + Dez Dare are coming to Ramsgate Music Hall!
7.30pm - 11pm
Tokyo-formed, London-based trio return with their most expansive and experimental record to date, featuring new singles “Derek” and “Atlas” Barbican Estate announce their second album, Rock Drill, due for release on 6 November 2026 via God Unknown Records. The Tokyo-formed, London-based three-piece have spent the past few years carving out their own space within the UK underground,
combining the stark geometry of Brutalism with experimental rock, noise and intensely physical live performance.
Rock Drill sees Barbican Estate pushing that sound further. More experimental and expansive than their previous work, the album stretches the trio’s palette while retaining the raw, confrontational energy that has become central to their live shows. It is a record
built around tension and movement — abrasive and playful, dense and spacious, with the band continually pushing against the edges of what three musicians can do together.
