Upcoming events
The five piece Manchester outfit are on a journey to redefine what it takes to make real music as a band in 2026. They encourage their fans to pick up the lyric book, unite as a collective and disconnect from the numbing comfort of the algorithm.
Gustaffson are quickly becoming renowned for their curation of venue-specific, standalone shows that become calendar shaping events for their audience. Their debut elbow produced album Black & White Movie achieved critical and commercial success, reaching #14 in the Official Record Store Chart as well as being featured in Rolling Stones 7 Albums You Need To Hear This Week. It earned high praise from Jo Whiley, Chris Hawkins, Guy Garvey, and Gaby Roslin. The band celebrated with a spectacular sold-out show at Londons Bush Hall.
They finished 2025 with an elbow produced single Dance To The Algorithm. A retro funk anthem which featured on ITV Granada Introducing and had Gustaffson included in The Manc & Audio Norths best artists of 2025 alongside Richard Ashcroft and The Charlatans. This year the band will return to the studio to record their second album with elbows Craig Potter.
