The Victoria in Birmingham hosts Opal Mag on 1 October 2026 at 19:30, presenting a London-born, Brighton-based artist whose performance weaves dream pop, shoegaze, and 90s-inspired indie rock into an immersive soundscape. Her set merges ethereal vocals with fuzzy guitar textures to craft intimate, confessional tracks that recall the moody atmospheres of Mazzy Star and The Sundays. This upcoming show promises a quiet yet resonant evening defined by atmospheric layers rather than loud energy.

Winter Gardens
Winter Gardens blend the hazy textures of dream-pop with the urgency and drive of post-punk. Their sound moves fluidly between shimmering shoegaze atmospheres and propulsive, rhythm-led intensity, balancing moments of introspection with bursts of raw energy. Layers of reverb-soaked guitars and melodic basslines intertwine with driving percussion, creating a sound that feels both expansive and immediate. Immersive and emotionally charged, Winter Gardens capture a sense of movement and release, equal parts tension and lift, resulting in a distinctive "dreampunk" style that continues to resonate with audiences and critics alike.
Opal Mag
Harnessing influences from the likes of Mazzy Star, The Sundays, The Breeders, and The Smashing Pumpkins, Opal Mag's lead singles 'Wasting', 'World End' and 'Kiss Me' see the enigmatic musician's evocative songwriting truly come to the fore, blended by her trademark hazy and atmospheric soundscapes that continue to captivate her growing fanbase.
Primed for a busy summer on the festival circuit, Opal Mag is ready to capitalise on previous supports alongside acts including Black Honey, Overpass and Phoebe Green, with the musician's early releases having already gained countless plaudits from key tastemakers such as NME, Stereogum, Dork, Clash, So Young, The Line Of Best Fit, Rough Trade, Rolling Stone UK and Under The Radar, as well as initial spins on the BBC 6 Music (Emily Pilbeam), KEXP (Cheryl Waters) and Triple J (Colby Robertson) airwaves.
