They’ve received glowing live reviews in the UK from NME at 2024’s Simple Things Festival ‘a commanding highlight of the day’ and Louder Than War “One last show of sheer elemental, Argonaut-like force to mention: Gurriers in the Spiegelzelt on Friday. Be warned”
Playing live is when the incendiary magic happens with Gurriers. Cutting their teeth supporting acts like Enola Gay and Goat Girl, their reputation and growing notoriety live saw them booked on to a string of festival bills in 2022 including SWN (UK), Mad Cool (ES), Reeperbahn (DE) plus Into The Great Wide Open, Left Of The Dial, Bruis and London Calling (all NL).
They released their first music in 2023 and things intensified with a stack of UK and Netherlands club shows along with a Summer full of festivals including The Great Escape, 2000 Trees & Latitude (UK), Electric Picnic (IE), Loose Ends & London Calling again (NL), Haldern Pop & Obstwiesenfestival (DE), Pukkelpop (BE), Off (PL) and Hop Pop Hop (FR) among others and in the last two years the band have played over 80 shows. More recently they have played the Pitchfork Music Festival’s in London and Paris, Simple Things Festival in Bristol and Other Voices in Dingle among others.
