Event Postponed - Hawkwind

Hawkwind have postponed their upcoming UK tour and will no longer be performing at York Barbican on 16 Sep 2021. A rescheduled date will be confirmed for the show very soon and all tickets will remain valid for the new date. If you have any questions, please get in touch with your point of purchase.

Hawkwind formed in 1969 by Dave Brock who still remains at the helm today. In 1970 the band played at the first-ever Glastonbury Festival, released their eponymously titled debut album, and created their own new music genre called “Space Rock”.

Their 1972 Space Ritual Tour featured contributions from sci-fi author Michael Moorcock, poet Bob Calvert, designer Barney Bubbles and lighting engineer Liquid Len creating a truly multimedia experience. This has set the bar for every Hawkwind show since.

Original member Lemmy left to form Motorhead in 1975, and Hawkwind has since gone on to become a massively influential group and has released more than 50 albums.
