Arab Strap

Following their critically-acclaimed UK Top 20 album As Days Get Dark, Arab Strap join us at the Byre, ready to make some noise with their new and upcoming album.

Arab Strap

About Arab Strap

The band recently wrapped up a tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of Philophobia, and their new album feels charged by a desire to move forward and explore new sonic terrain.

“It’s about hopelessness and darkness,” says Aidan Moffat. “But in a fun way.”

Just a few days before they play the iconic Barrowlands Ballroom, you can see Arab Strap in the intimate setting of the Byre, doing what they do best… funnelling life’s experiences into a unique concoction of music that explores beauty, sadness, intoxicants, sex, love, and death all rolled into one.

Running time: approx. 2h 20m

Ages 18+
