Arcane Roots have announced their biggest ever headline show, taking place in November.

After making their return after eight years away with epic single ‘A Wave, Across The Sea’, the refreshed five-piece will be hitting up London venue Here at Outernet for a headline show on November 11.

With support coming from False Advertising and Love Rarely, it’s set to be a celebration of Arcane Roots’ journey, and a wicked teaser of where they’re headed with this latest chapter.

Tickets will be on sale from May 29.

Alongisde the huge show announcement, the band have also shared the ‘Wave, Across The Sea’ EP, featring three completely different alternative endings to their latest single.

Whilst it won’t be made available on any streaming platforms, you can grab it on Bandcamp from June 24.

On the newly created versions of ‘Wave, Across the Sea’, singer Andrew Groves says:

“A Wave, Across The Sea was one of the very first collaborations between Bjarni & myself. Long before any notions of Arcane Roots returning, it emerged in fits and starts, inevitably surviving pandemics, elections, protests, lockdowns, earthquakes, childbirth and numerous volcanic eruptions.  So you can forgive me for thinking, while bobbing along on our volcanic little ice cube in the North Atlantic, that it almost felt as if all the worlds’ monsters were suddenly emerging from the murky depths society had long banished them to, while we experienced the very real throws of a deeply disgruntled earth; bucking & spewing it’s mantle onto a bed of moss & lichen.

“It is quite an outer-body experience to feel the ground moving beneath your feet, something that I feel would humble even the sturdiest of bipeds. Growing up in the UK, I was fortunate enough to not have to experience most of natures scariest turns but it soon put into perspective just how futile our existence is against the forces it employs. Thematically, this brought forward a concept; if we all felt something strongly enough, could we bring it into physical existence? We’re all aware of the ideals of spreading peace & love throughout the world but what if that feeling was one of division instead? If we all felt truly indifferent towards the ‘other’, could that somehow create some sort of physical impact? We’re all aware that extreme stresses & strong emotions can present as physical illnesses on the human body, so with a little more volume could that extend even further? To one another? To our surroundings? To the earth? Each ending explores these as a different choice. A split in the narrative, for you to explore as you will.”
