Gong – new single, video, album news…and more touring.

Legendary psych outfit Gong are back with a new single – Stars In Heaven – alongside a brand new music video created by Drain Hope. The band have also teased the release of their new album which fans will see next year and shared the album’s name – Bright Spirit.  Stars In Heaven is the first single to be released from Bright Spirit which will be released in 2026 on Kscope

“It’s such an eclectic record,” says singer and guitarist Kavus Torabi. “This is the most colourful and kaleidoscopic album so far from this incarnation of the band. There are Eastern-infused epics, long instrumental jazz-inspired sections, meditative and cosmic detours and blistering, incendiary psychedelic rock. When picking the first song to be released, it has felt as if there’s an extra weight on the choice, as if the song somehow has to represent the whole album.” 

The follow up Unending Ascending, Bright Spirit continues the Gong catalogue – an extensive and acclaimed collection of releases that has seen Gong produce over 30 studio albums during a career spanning more than 50 years, since the band was founded in 1970 by the late Daevid Allen.
