About Henge

Attention Humans! This is Henge.

We are not from this world. We bring you music from distant planets. We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.

Extra-terrestrial joymongers – Henge – have been delighting audiences in the UK and Europe since they landed on Planet Earth seven years ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act' at the Independent Festival Awards and they have since cemented their reputation with two acclaimed albums, numerous tours and regular main-stage festival appearances.

Their music escapes definition, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, Henge are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.

Henge is a British concept band, formed in Manchester in 2015. They play a mix of electronic crossover rock which they call Cosmic Dross. Band members are Matthew Whitaker, Pete Turner, roy Medhurst and Sam Draper who perform as the fictional characters Zpor, Goo, Grok and Nom. In 2017 the debut album 'Cosmic Dross' was released.
