When Rivers Meet

Recorded with an intentionally stripped-back, analogue-inspired approach, Rhythm Rust & Static captures the raw essence of When Rivers Meet, intimate, gritty, and emotionally charged. 
The tour reflects that same spirit: a smaller, more focused on-stage setup, delivering a huge, immersive sound that puts songwriting, feel, and connection at the heart of the show. Audiences can expect to hear all ten tracks from the new album performed live, alongside a carefully chosen selection of favourites from the When Rivers Meet back catalogue. 

Across this 14-date UK tour, each night promises a powerful, close-quarters experience. On stage, When Rivers Meet remain exactly what they have always been: Grace & Aaron Bond. They are joined by long-time collaborator James Fox, adding depth and texture through percussion, guitar, and backing vocals. With three musicians on stage, the sound is expansive and full-bodied. 

Fresh from a run of remarkable chart success including a Top 10 Official UK Albums Chart entry with Aces Are High and a #4 Official UK Albums Chart with Addicted To You, alongside multiple Official UK #1 positions across genre and format charts, When Rivers Meet continue to prove that independence and ambition can go hand in hand. This is When Rivers Meet at their most distilled and most intense.

Geneva, 1816.
The year without a summer.
Trapped inside by the weather, Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and young Mary Godwin sit down for a competition: to see who could craft the most spine chilling ghost story.

What Mary created would not only shock her companions, but send shivers up the spines of readers for centuries to come. The tale of a man wracked by grief and fear who wished to heal his broken heart; the tale of a scientist who wished to play god; and the tale of a creator who lost control of his creation…
