Doves
De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, Rother, TN40 1DP
Indie rock royalty DOVES play their first ever live concert in Bexhill-On-Sea as part of our open air concerts on the De La Warr Pavilion lawns.
Inspiration is seldom elusive and motivation rarely fades for DOVES as the boundary-clearing alchemists of yearning, scenic alternative sound return with their critically-acclaimed sixth studio album 'Constellations for the Lonely', 25 years after they arrived with their Mercury Award-nominated debut.
Following 2020's UK Number one album 'The Universal Want', the band quietly continued working, despite stepping away from public view in late 2021 due to frontman Jimi Goodwin's well-publicised health concerns. Instead of an ending, it became a transition, as they embraced remote recording while maintaining their signature collaborative approach. Inspired by dystopian imagery and personal struggles, the new album 'Constellations for the Lonely' blends intricate guitar work, cinematic influences, and soul-infused experimentation. Tracks like 'Cold Dreaming' and 'Last Years Man' explore resilience, forgiveness, and fatherhood, while 'Stupid Schemes' adds a playful, soulful twist. Despite challenges, Doves' chemistry remains, proving they are still reaching new artist heights.
Main support on the day comes from the legendary and much loved UK folk-rock outfit TURIN BRAKES who return to Bexhill to this time perform an electric set.
