One of the stalwarts of mid-noughties indie rock, The Kooks have earned global acclaim for their distinctive sound.

Since their inception in 2005, The Kooks have traversed various musical styles, from futuristic synth-pop to stripped-back prog rock. With six studio albums under their belt, including the critically acclaimed “10 Tracks to Echo in the Dark” released in 2022, the band has cemented their status as indie royalty. Their latest album, marked by optimism and a newfound confidence, resonated deeply with fans, attracting over 7.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify alone.

No strangers to the festival circuit, The Kooks have graced stages at prestigious events like Coachella, Sziget, and Lollapalooza, solidifying their reputation as a must-see live act. Alongside their headline metro shows, the band will return to the Groovin the Moo stages, promising electrifying performances across six locations nationwide.
