Gong
The universe of Gong began in 1969 when Daevid Allen was inspired by a profound
psychedelic vision. A founder member of Soft Machine, Allen incorporated his spiritual and
metaphysical leanings into an evolving collective, more a mythology than a band in the
conventional sense.
The current incarnation, who were put together by Daevid before his swansong album with
Gong, ‘I See You’, honour his intention that Gong do not die with him, urging the band to
“carry it on into new unknown heights and depths far beyond anything I could ever imagine
myself”.
The collective is the most stable in Gong’s illustrious history, having written, recorded and
toured together for eleven years since Allen’s passing. A dynamic, powerful and explosive
live band, their music draws from the credo of the original Gong while remaining committed
to pushing the composition, performances and message into new realms, paying no mind to
nostalgia. Gong in 2026 continue the ethics, attitude and lifestyle that was always woven into
the fabric of the band.
