Bright, charismatic floor-fillers are a Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs speciality, making him a perfect fit for our concrete club space.

Whatever you’re feeling, be sure to feel it deeply. This seems to be the prevailing sentiment of Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs' latest full-length offering – an ambitious, complex body of work nestled within simple, powerful storytelling.

With the versatility to provide listening experiences across every environment and a central focus on songwriting over dancefloor tracks, When The Lights Go delivers a compilation of genres where the internal world is observed, pondered and shared outwards.

Since the release of his debut album, Trouble, a decade ago, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs has toured the globe, settled in LA for seven years, worked behind-the-scenes producing for a range of top-tier acts, and earned himself a Grammy nomination.

In 2022 Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs wrapped his A Dream I Have club tour, delighting fans with his dynamic DJ sets at venues and festivals, including Coachella.

He is currently embarking on a sold-out live tour across the UK, Europe and North America, introducing his new album to the world.

Support comes from Low Island, an electronic-indie four-piece from Oxford, UK. Their sophomore album, Life In Miniature, was released in November 2022. Touted as a ‘contender for album of the year’ by Gigwise in a nine-star review, every single from the album was supported across BBC Radio 1 and 6 Music. They recently put on their first headline European tour, in addition to supporting Hot Chip and X Ambassadors in the UK and headlining London’s Village Underground.
