Cult post-punk favourites Opus Kink return to the road with an expanded UK and European tour, bringing their explosive live show to Cardiff’s beloved independent venue, The Globe, in March 2027.
Renowned independent music venue The Globe is delighted to announce that Opus Kink will perform a headline show at the Cardiff venue on Thursday 4 March 2027 as part of their newly expanded The Sweet Goodbye Tour XL. Following huge demand for their current UK and European dates, the Brighton six-piece have added a fresh run of shows for 2027, including this much-anticipated South Wales appearance. Fans can expect an unforgettable evening of new material from acclaimed debut album The Sweet Goodbye and the band’s ever-mutating blend of jazz-and-country-laced punk. Tickets, priced £16 plus fees, go on sale at 10am on Friday 13 November 2026 via Tixr.
Opus Kink has always cut a singular figure in a saturated landscape. Making their name with incendiary, cult-like live shows, the band – formed in 2017 – look far beyond the blueprint of 80s post-punk in developing their elusive sound.
Their debut album The Sweet Goodbye, produced and mixed by Craig Silvey, further cemented their reputation as one of Britain’s most exciting alternative acts. Praised by NME for their “horn-fuelled filth-funk” and championed by BBC 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq as “barnstorming” and “infectious”, Opus Kink have earned acclaim for a sound that pulls from punk, folk, cabaret, Latin music and no-wave influences, underscored by their signature formidable horn section.
Whether performing in Serbian abattoirs, rousing festival crowds into shamanic frenzy or selling out iconic halls, Opus Kink’s grotesque pop show leaves a scorch mark wherever they perform, and Cardiff is next in the firing line.
The Globe remains one of Cardiff’s most treasured independent venues. With a capacity of 350, its intimate atmosphere and Grade II-listed character make it one of the best places in the city to experience live music up close. Alongside Opus Kink, the venue’s 2027 programme also features tour stops from acclaimed acts including, Henge, Willie J Healey, Lonely The Brave, BC Camplight, Dream State and more.
