The Necks - europe spring tour 2026

Australian experimental jazz trio The Necks have announced the dates of their European tour.

“One of the greatest bands in the world!” The New York Times

“(The Necks) are sometimes categorised as a jazz trio – which is fine as long as this is immediately qualified by adding that they’ve completely re-conceived the idea of the jazz trio.” Geoff Dyer’s book ‘Working the Room’

“To the often spiky disciplines of minimalism, systems music and improvisation, this remarkable trio bring a satisfying sense of long-form development… Ascetic in outline, but suffused with a warm humanity, their pieces are studded with minor epiphanies on the way to a larger sense of emotional fulfilment.” The Guardian

“A magic act masquerading as a piano trio, this Australian group delivers long-form improvisations that shift with such patient beauty that it casts a bit of a trance. You’ll seldom spend an hour that passes so quickly — and rewardingly.” Los Angeles Times

“No other performing unit can reach into a remotely similar sonic area… almost as if their music is disembodied from conventional human touch, arriving from some unknown abstract source.” New York City Jazz Record
