Kite Thief

About the artist

Kite Thief is a high-voltage expanse of catharsis; an ecstatic space of rage, and a playful moment in time to lose yourself, without fear. Emanating from Bristol, the five-piece blends their diverse influences with the spice of disrupting & confronting toxic social norms. Their melting pot of intoxicating melodies, pummelling rhythms, & unrelenting riffs forges a captivating vibration that you can't help being absorbed by. Kite Thief's music invites the listener to face their darkness, whilst simultaneously empowering through acceptance, understanding, love and having as much fun as possible. Fresh from performances at The Great Escape, 2000 Trees Festival, and Takedown Festival, Kite Thief released their new single 'BITE' on August 8th, 2025. The band will be playing at the Exchange in Bristol on September 19th and King Arthur in Glastonbury on October 17th.
