In the organizer's words:

"Tour over Europe 2026"

If there's one artist who could be said to have followed a tangential path from Hendrix to Big Star to Spacemen 3, it's The Bevis Frond...and that's no exaggeration, the evidence can be found in countless albums spanning 30 years of thrilling musical innovation that few have matched.

Filtered through The Groundhogs, The Who, Neil Young, Captain Beefheart and Kevin Ayers, this is an iconoclastic collision of distinctly British psychedelia, space rock, grunge, slow-burning soulful laments, even grizzled folk and more than occasional moments of sublime pop genius.

Yet he remains rock 'n' roll's best kept secret - isn't it time you discovered one of England's finest songwriters and insightful lyricists? The Bevis Frond is guitarist and songwriter extraordinaire Nick Saloman, hailed by Rolling Stone's David Fricke as "a Hendrix devotee as thoughtful and contemporary as the jagged guitar choruses of Sonic Youth and the Pixies", who has become a cult figure in his own right.

Saloman, who pursues an uncompromising vision with his own label Woronzow, is also a former co-editor of the prestigious psych magazine Ptolemaic Terrascope and owner of a second-hand record store in Sussex. Revered by his contemporaries, he has remained firmly on the periphery, despite being hugely influential. Saloman has released no less than twenty-two albums under the name The Bevis Frond, with many collaborations and releases under various pseudonyms. He sounds just as bold today as he did back then, constantly writing about his musical journey that began as The Bevis Frond Museum and later as The Von Trap Family.

After a motorcycle accident that almost left him unable to play, he resurrected the name The Bevis Frond and used his compensation to set up a simple home recording studio. Armed with a four-track portastudio, he began recording his entirely self-produced, stunning debut 'Miasma'. He played and wrote everything on 'Misma' and released the record through his label. After a call from Funhouse Records in Margate, who specialized in psychedelia, they requested the album. A few weeks later they requested more copies, which he repressed, completely flabbergasted and now completely sold out. The following year, "Inner Marshland" (1987) followed with the Anglophile dream world of "Termination Station Grey" and the epic psych-blues-rock rave "I've Got Eyes in the Back of My Head".
