Introducing The Killing Tide – Performing on Sunday 28 June 2026 on the Scottish Citylink Discovery Stage

From the rugged coastline of North-East Scotland comes The Killing Tide, a four-piece rock band delivering emotionally charged, atmospheric performances that have been making a strong impression across the Scottish music scene. Their sound blends towering guitars, marching drums and textured, heartfelt vocals — a sonic landscape as dramatic and shifting as the shores that inspire them.

Rooted in the tension between calm and chaos, The Killing Tide craft songs that begin in reflection and rise into soaring, anthemic choruses. Their music carries a raw honesty, creating moments that connect deeply with audiences and turning each live performance into an immersive emotional journey.

The band’s self-recorded releases have earned support from BBC Introducing and helped establish them as one of Scotland’s most exciting emerging acts. With their debut album Carry Us Across the Sea arriving in early 2026, fans can expect a powerful collection of tracks shaped by evocative storytelling, cinematic arrangements and a strong sense of place.

Known for passionate, high-energy shows, The Killing Tide have shared stages with Big Country, Mànran and Torridon, further showcasing their range and rising momentum.
