Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats - North America '26
About This Event
Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats bring their North America ’26 run to Irving Plaza. The Cambridge-founded project led by Kevin Starrs has six studio albums, including 2024's Nell' Ora Blu, and relies on fuzz-heavy guitars, minor-key melodies and a cinematic, slow-build approach. Support comes from Messa, a solo project rooted in doom, sludge and drone whose slow-burning dynamics and tonal weight align with Uncle Acid's atmosphere-driven sets.
