A Winged Victory for the Sullen
Last October, we took to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama's renowned Milton Court Concert Hall, nestled alongside the Barbican, for a very powerful performance bending the rules of contemporary classical music. A Winged Victory for the Sullen – the prominent duo comprising of one half of revered drone duo, Stars of The Lid – stretched the conventional orchestral sound into new, forward-thinking forms with the use of a live string quartet.

Sly & Robbie
Earlier this year, the Barbican’s main hall played host to a very special show with the pair that form the bedrock of reggae and dub, Sly & Robbie. This time, they appeared in a strikingly new setting: in collaboration with jazz trumpet innovator Nils Petter Molvaer, guitarist Eivind Aarset and electronic pioneer Vladislav Delay for what was a truly one-of-a-kind Boiler Room broadcast.
