Gotobeat is proud to present legendary international psychedelic band GONG at The Junction, Plymouth on Friday 3rd July.
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, who were put together by Daevid before his swansong album with Gong, ‘I See You’, honour his intention that Gong do not die with him, urging the band to “carry it on into new unknown heights and depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine myself”.
The collective is 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 credo of the original Gong while remaining committed to pushing the composition, performances and message into new realms, paying no mind to nostalgia. Gong in 2026 continue the ethics, attitude and lifestyle that was always woven into the fabric of the band.
The Junction in Plymouth is a vibrant and diverse live music venue with a capacity of approximately 270 people, catering to a wide range of musical tastes. While it has a strong presence in rock, metal, punk, and ska scenes, it has expanded its programming over the years to include reggae, indie, and folk bands, as well as local artists and established musicians. It is known for its good selection of beer, craft ales, wine, and speciality spirits, offered in a friendly atmosphere.
