Mandrake Handshake

CANCELLATION · For reasons beyond our control, the Mandrake Handshake concert originally scheduled for Wednesday 11 November has been cancelled. Here is the information shared by the band to explain this decision:

“We are truly sad to announce that, due to a health issue, we will be unable to go ahead with our upcoming concerts in France… We are devastated that we cannot play these gigs, as we love playing in France and were so looking forward to returning there after having an incredible time at the Transmusicales de Rennes. We hope to return very soon and make it up to everyone who was planning to come and see us. We are truly sorry to have let you down and thank everyone for their understanding and support.”

Multi-dimensional Oxford/London collective Mandrake Handshake showcase a music they call ‘Flowerkraut’: a hedonistic, brain-frying feast of Krautrock, avant-pop and psychedelia, spiced with enigmatic grooves and fearless improvisations.

Releasing their top 20 independent debut album, Earth-Sized World in February 2025, to acclaim from The Times, UNCUT, CLASH, BBC Radio 6Music and more, the pristine chaos of their live show has garnered numerous festival appearances , UK/EU-wide headline tours, a sellout headline show at No90 Hackney Wick plus a special performance at the Legendary Fabric nightclub. This was all immortalised with a rapturously received KEXP session in February 2026, as part of their trip to Transmusicales festival  the previous December.

So… Grab your tambourines! let down your hair! fix your third-eye-liner! Come witness the spectacle…and enjoy your flight
