About the Show

Temples BLISS 2026 China Tour is the band’s China stop on their global tour supporting their fifth studio album BLISS.

The band’s sound is rooted in 1960s psychedelic rock influences while expanding into electronic music, dance rhythms, and experimental production. Their latest album reflects a more improvisational and self-produced approach, created without external producers and shaped by a return to collaborative, in-room songwriting.

The live show brings together material from BLISS alongside earlier work, presenting the band’s evolution through different sonic eras.

Performers

Temples is a British psychedelic rock band formed by James Bagshaw and Tom Walmsley, later joined by additional members.

The band has been publicly supported or praised by Noel Gallagher and Johnny Marr, and has previously performed with artists including The Rolling Stones. Their debut album Sun Structures reached No. 7 on the UK Albums Chart and was named Rough Trade’s Album of the Year.

Their lineup and instrumentation are known for layered guitar work, synthesizers, and rhythm-driven arrangements.

Why Go

This tour represents a key moment in Temples’ ongoing evolution, featuring material from BLISS, their most recent and self-directed creative phase. The band’s live shows are known for immersive sound design, blending psychedelic textures with electronic and rhythmic elements.

It is a chance to experience a band that has moved from early psych revival acclaim to a more experimental and genre-fluid identity, delivering a layered and atmospheric live performance rather than a straightforward rock set.
