About this event

Soot Sprite + Aftercare + Sandi Toxic is on Thursday 12 November 2026 at The Library, Oxford, with doors at 19:30. Tickets start at £7.70, including the booking fee.

Oh yes pals! We welcome emo-core shoegazers Soot Sprite to Oxford as they head out on tour in November - let's welcome them with open arms at the Library on Thurs 12th Nov! Soot Sprite originated in Devon in 2018 by front-woman Elise Cook. Since then they have released 3 EP’s (one self released) and their debut album under Specialist Subject Records. Soot Sprite extensively toured the UK and Europe, sharing the stage with bands such as Sweet Pill, SUDS, Chase Petra and Bears In Trees and released their debut album ‘Wield Your Hope Like A Weapon’ in 2025 to much critical acclaim. Clash Magazine- “A piece of art that perfectly captures something vital about what it means to hope for a better 2025 - 8/10” KEXP - “A potent set of alternative sweeping rock and epic bedroom rock that mixes shoegaze, grunge and emo elements to serve as the backdrop to Elise’s urgent, expressive, dark-yet triumphant lyrics” This is a hot ticket in the intimate basement of the Library - looking forward to having them back in town after they played our Oh, Community! last summer!

Savak + Sinews + Ember

The Library · Oxford

Delighted be welcoming Savak back to town at the Library on Monday 2nd November! Savak are legends of the American alt-rock underground, having made 7 albums in 10 years, along with several 7" singles, EPs and splits.

Bassist Matt Hunter (Silver Jews, New Radiant Storm King) joins for live performances. Drummer Alexis Fleisig (Girls Against Boys) will be touring with them in the UK this year! Recommended for fans of Television, Wire, Mission of Burma, and Magazine. https://www.instagram.com/savakband/ They're touring with Oxford's Sinews - playing unfashionable post-hardcore rock music, made up of Heather, Luke, Rich and Thomas. The band released their debut EP 'Reanimated' in January 2024, and a follow up EP 'Choreography' in February 2025, which Nightshift Magazine said ‘stands true to post-hardcore’s original ideals and finds the sweet spot between thoughtful intricacy...

Firestations + Patsy Delve + Nothing Dreams

The Library · Oxford

Oxford! Divine Schism host London art-pop band Firestations next month hot on the heels of their new record ‘International Dust’ which came out yesterday on Lost Map Records - they play the Library with Bristol-based kaleidoscopic doo-wop act Patsy Delve and Oxford’s jangle alt-rockers Nothing Dreams on Weds 4th Nov! This tour marks a return to Firestations’ full five-piece band format after a journey into more stripped back alt-folk territory on last year’s ‘Many White Horses’. The nine tracks on the new album encompass an eclectic and intuitive mix of art-pop, alt-country and hypnotic cyclical numbers, shaped collectively by the band as a unit through various twists and turns at rehearsal sessions during 2024. Excited to see Firestations for the first time, encompassing an eclectic and intuitive mix of dream-pop, alt-country and hypnotic cyclical numbers that were shaped collectively by the whole band through their various twists and turns through rehearsals for this sparkling new record. Patsy Delve bring their tender pop, haunted tape manipulation, frazzled microphone hiss and reverb soaked androgynous vocals to Oxford for the first time, combining all this into o...

Indica Blues and BarrelHaus Live @ The Library Pub

The Library · Oxford

Doom desert-rock from Indica Blues and heavy alt-rock from Oxford’s BarrelHaus. Expect heavy. About Indica Blues: Since forming in 2014, Indica Blues have crafted a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling psychedelic, stoner-doom hybrids. Once described as “bong-filling rock that is platinum heavy, but blessed with a melodic sensibility underneath it all,” their blend of fuzz-drenched blues, doom, sludge, and psychedelic melancholy has earned them fans across continents and glowing press from underground reviewers and major publications alike. About BarrelHaus: An alt-rock trio from Oxford, UK. Best played loud. Praise for BarrelHaus: God Is In The TV Zine: ‘One of the most exciting rock bands in the UK.’ Tom Robinson (BBC Radio 6): ‘A great combination of powerful playing and proper songwriting.’ Nightshift Music Magazine: ‘Every song here is great.’ Oxfordshire Music Scene: ‘Hard-rock carnage.’ Dave Gilyeat (BBC Introducing): ‘So rockin’!’ RGSoundwaves: ‘It sounds amazing’!
