Powerful and anthemic; the music of The Joy Formidable reaches the greater heights lesser bands can only dream of.
Fusing dream pop with shoegaze; Welsh band The Joy Formidable have relocated to London and includes band members Rhiannon "Ritzy" Bryan (lead vocals, guitar), Rhydian Dafydd (bass, backing vocals) and Matthew James Thomas (drums).
Rising from indie outsiders to enjoy international acclaim, the trio have released five records including The Big Roar (2011), Wolf's Law (2013), Hitch (2016), AAARTH (2018) and Into the Blue (2021).
Could do with more ac as it gets quite hot.

Great venue - great support bands and the Joy Formidable were superb and special shout out for the Wolf Orchestra who added an extra dimension to the performance.

I first saw them about 12 years ago, and was blown away, so I've been really looking forward to last night's gig. It was worth the wait! The venue isn't the biggest, so it felt really intimate. The band gave it their all, and are as tight as it gets. For a three piece, they make a spectacular wall of sound. Best gig I've been to in ages!
