Oh yes, it’s a big one: seminal US indie-emo outfit Braid at The Dome this July! The band haven't visited UK shores in 13 YEARS, and we're stoked to host their long-awaited return to London. The revered Illinois band are widely considereda pillar of second-wave emo, along with similarly influential acts like the Get Up Kids, the Promise Ring and Jimmy Eat World. Having recently celebrated 25 years of their seminal 1997 album Frame & Canvas, Braid remain a vital, restless force in the indie rock scene, their influence echoing loudly as ever. Could you really think of a better band to join them than Hey Mercedes? The band that 3/4s of Braid created following their dissolution in 1999? You could not, and that’s a fact. Hey Mercedes released an EP on Polyvinyl and two albums on Vagrant, playing 359 shows to wide acclaim before they disbanded in 2005 without ever playing the UK. So here we have it, 20 years after they split, we have a London debut. That’s worth the entry price alone. You know what to do…
