After four years of quiet recalibration, the critically acclaimed alt-rock quintet Mesadorm have returned with the announcement that their much-anticipated third album, Comfort and Lies is set for release in June 2026.

To mark this occasion, the band will be performing across the UK this summer and we’re delighted to welcome them to The Long Table Sanctuary on Friday 17th July!

Difficult to confine to a single genre, Mesadorm exist in the spaces between art rock and dream pop. A collaborative project between five lifelong friends - Blythe Pepino, Daisy Palmer, Jo Silverston and David Johnston- their long-shared history shaped by friendship, love, rupture and reunion gives the band an intuitive chemistry, unfolding live as performances that feel both grounded and transportive.

Their debut album Heterogaster (2018) was a striking introduction that received widespread acclaim (“some of the most interesting music this year” - The Guardian) including being named ‘Album of the Year’ by BBC Introducing in the West and featured in The Guardian’s Best Contemporary Albums of the Year.

Support for this show comes from Mara Simpson
Mara is a multi-instrumentalist, performing artist, producer and composer. Her work seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic instruments, exploring tape machines, analogue synths and field recordings. Her fourth studio album Living Matter (2025), written and engineered in the studio she hand built with friend and collaborated Philippe Nash, was written in response to a set of poems by celebrated poet JLM Morton published in her book Red Handed. Centred around our connection to green and blue spaces, of ancient land and artefact, Living Matter has become a 6Music favourite, been performed live across stages, and designed into an immersive spatial sound installation (Hidden Notes Festival 2025).
