FSOE FORTHCOMING EVENTS
COLOSSEUM
+ THE HONEY POT
EXETER PHOENIX
Sun 29 Nov ’26
Colosseum were one of the first bands to blues, rock and jazz-based improvisation, and they did it in a truly explosive way, somehow managing to combine complex instrumental passages with passionately wild vocals resulting in exhilarating live performances.
Colosseum came to fame in 1969 when the band led by legendary drummer Jon Hiseman released its debut album Those Who Are About To Die Salute You. Best-selling studio albums followed, notably Valentyne Suite (1969) and The Daughter of Time is Truth (1970). Changes in personnel saw the arrival of the soulful Chris Farlowe, famed for his Sixties chart hit Out of Time and Clem Clempson, the young blues guitar virtuoso and vocalist, along with bass player Mark Clarke.
This is one of only twelve UK dates which we are delighted to host at Exeter Phoenix

Two legendary forces of electronic psychedelia return to the stage together for a limited run of immersive audiovisual events.
After years apart on the live circuit, pioneering electronic visionaries The Orb and System 7 are reuniting for a special series of rare and exclusive performances – a historic convergence of ambient architecture, psychedelic techno, dub science and cosmic dancefloor energy. Having already done a few shows in London, Bristol and Bethesda – the two giants and bands of friends thought it was time to do some more! Joined by Paul Giblin.
HENGE
EXETER PHOENIX
Thu 11 Mar ’27, 7.30pm
Intergalactic travellers HENGE will land their craft at Exeter Phoenix as part of their latest tour of planet earth.
Attention Humans! This is HENGE.
We are not from this world.
We bring you music from distant planets.
We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.
Extra-terrestrial joy mongers HENGE have been delighting audiences across the UK and Europe since landing on Planet Earth over a decade ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards. With four acclaimed albums and their own comic book series expanding the HENGE mythos, they continue to spread their message of unity and joy wherever they touch down.
Their latest album, Journey to Voltus B, expands their intergalactic mythology with a conceptually ambitious release that features a novel twist – a double-groove vinyl pressing that offers two possible endings, depending on where the needle lands. The album has received glowing reviews, sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and earned radio support from BBC 6 Music tastemakers including Stuart Maconie, Deb Grant, and Craig Charles.
The music escapes definition but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.
This event is a fundraiser for Exeter’s sound alternative community radio station, Phonic FM.
