Gotobeat is proud to present legendary international psychedelic band GONG at The Factory, Worthing on Wednesday 15th 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.

Formed in Paris in 1967 by Daevid Allen and Gilli Smyth, the band is celebrated for its quirky songs, elongated space-rock excursions, and the fantastical \"Radio Gnome Invisible\" mythology that weaves through their discography.\n\nIn their latest endeavors, Gong is set to release their new studio album, \"Bright Spirit,\" on March 13, 2026. This album marks the third installment in a trilogy that began with \"The Universe Also Collapses\" in 2019 and continued with \"Unending Ascending\" in 2023. The single \"Stars In Heaven\" was released in November 2025 as a preview of the upcoming album. The band embarked on a North American tour in Fall 2024 and has announced extensive touring plans for 2026, including UK dates in March, as well as performances at Kozfest and A New Day Festival in August 2026. They will also be co-headlining the \"Sounds of the Cosmos Tour\" of the UK with Henge in November 2025.","totalDiscountAmount","coupons",[],"analyticsPassword","NoOneKnows","relatedVenues",[],"musicVenueSchema",{"_210":211,"_212":213,"_214":215,"_9":216,"_25":26,"_57":58,"_196":217,"_218":42,"_51":219,"_226":227,"_232":233},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","MusicVenue","@id","https://gotobeat.com/venue/the-factory-live#musicvenue","https://gotobeat.com/venue/the-factory-live","https://gtb-prod-assetsbucket-buzxtxuw.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/placeholder.png","keywords",{"_212":220,"_221":52,"_222":28,"_223":45,"_224":38,"_225":24},"PostalAddress","streetAddress","addressLocality","postalCode","addressRegion","addressCountry","additionalProperty",[228],{"_212":229,"_25":230,"_231":42},"PropertyValue","Tag","value","event",[234],{"_210":211,"_212":235,"_9":236,"_25":112,"_237":238,"_239":240,"_241":242,"_243":244,"_245":246,"_196":248,"_57":249,"_250":251,"_260":261,"_265":266,"_270":271},"MusicEvent","https://gotobeat.com/gig/gong-live-in-worthing-I-","startDate","2026-07-15T19:00+01:00","endDate","2026-07-15T23:00+01:00","eventAttendanceMode","https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode","eventStatus","https://schema.org/EventScheduled","location",{"_212":213,"_25":26,"_51":247,"_214":215},{"_212":220,"_221":52,"_222":28,"_223":45,"_224":38,"_225":24},[65],"GONG live in Worthing at The Factory Live on 2026-07-15","offers",[252,258],{"_212":253,"_9":236,"_149":150,"_254":137,"_255":256,"_257":157},"Offer","priceCurrency","availability","https://schema.org/InStock","validFrom",{"_212":253,"_9":236,"_149":172,"_254":137,"_255":259,"_257":175},"https://schema.org/SoldOut","performer",[262],{"_212":263,"_25":183,"_9":264,"_196":197},"PerformingGroup","https://gotobeat.com/artist/gong","organizer",{"_212":267,"_25":268,"_9":269},"Organization","Gotobeat","https://gotobeat.com","workPerformed",[272],{"_212":273,"_25":274,"_275":198},"CreativeWork","Performance by Gong","sameAs","actionData","errors"]
