Gong

About the event

Divergent Promotions presents by arrangement with Earth Agency Gong Plus Microfilm The universe of Gong began in 1969 when Daevid Allen was inspired by a profound psychedelic vision. A founder member of Soft Machine, Allen incorporated his spiritual and metaphysical leanings into an evolving collective — more a mythology than a band in the conventional sense. The current incarnation of Gong was assembled by Daevid before his swansong album with the band, I See You. His intention was clear: that Gong should not die with him. Allen encouraged the band to continue the journey, urging them to:“Carry it on into new unknown heights and depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself.” This line-up has become the most stable in Gong’s illustrious history, having written, recorded and toured together for eleven years since Allen’s passing. A dynamic, powerful and explosive live band, their music draws from the ethos of the original Gong while remaining firmly committed to pushing composition, performance and message into new realms — paying no mind to nostalgia. In 2026, Gong continue the ethics, attitude and lifestyle that have always been woven into the fabric of the band. Selected Releases I See You (2014) Rejoice! I’m Dead! (2016) The Universe Also Collapses (2019) Pulsing Signals (Live) (2022) Unending Ascending (2023) Bright Spirit (2026)
