Following the release of their first album in fifteen years, Instant Holograms On Metal Film, seminal avant-pop Stereolab will perform an Irish tour in February 2026 including their first show in Belfast in 7 years. 

Stereolab are an Anglo-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group's sound incorporates repetitive motorik beats with the use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French, drawing influences from krautrock, funk, jazz, 1960s French pop and Brazilian music. Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the Surrealist and Situationist art movements.
