About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

Touring the UK in 2025, Alex Etchart is bringing their new music project Vientos to Sheffield.

Glitchy, Witchy, Bilingual & Queer Vientos connect dual-heritage folk roots to prog-rock electrónica to get crowds pumping to an earthy, girthy new sound.

Drenched in harmony, simmering with continent-hopping percussion, Alex' expansive range, neo soul riffs & utopian storytelling calls us to be our highest selves, holding nothing back. A cinematic dancescape of queer love in diáspora.

“Cross-pollinating communities & spaces, keeping the folk flame alive in ways only Alex can" - SAM LEE
