Live at San Fran in Wellington: Quicksand (USA)
Sat, 20 Feb – Sun, 21 Feb 2027 at San Fran, Wellington
About this event
Quicksand (USA) runs from Saturday, 20 February 2027 to Sunday, 21 February 2027 at San Fran, Wellington.
New York post-hardcore legends QUICKSAND return to New Zealand in February 2027 for two shows across Auckland and Wellington, joined by Atlanta noise-rock heavyweights WHORES.
The tour follows the release of Quicksand’s new album Bring on the Psychics and their long-awaited return to New Zealand in 2023.
Formed in New York City in 1990, Quicksand emerged from the city’s hardcore scene before carving out a sound entirely their own. Landmark albums Slip and Manic Compression helped define their distinctive collision of crushing guitars, melody and atmosphere, influencing generations of alternative, post-hardcore and heavy music.
