Formed in Oslo in the mid-2000s, Airbag quickly established themselves as one of the leading names in modern progressive rock. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree, the band developed a distinctive style characterized by atmospheric guitar work, cinematic compositions, and emotionally resonant songwriting.

Since their debut album Identity (2009), Airbag have released a series of highly regarded records, including All Rights Removed (2011), The Greatest Show on Earth (2013), Disconnected (2016), and A Day at the Beach (2020). In 2024, the band released their sixth studio album The Century of the Self, further cementing their reputation with a record praised for its ambitious compositions, strong songwriting, and thematic depth.

Airbag have toured extensively across Europe and appeared at major progressive rock festivals on both sides of the Atlantic, earning a reputation for delivering powerful and atmospheric concerts. Their meticulous musicianship and dynamic live sound have made them a standout act within the genre.

The upcoming UK dates mark the band’s highly anticipated return to England:

Manchester – Manchester Club Academy – October 22
Birmingham – O2 Academy Birmingham – October 23
London – The Underworld – October 24

These exclusive concerts are expected to attract both devoted fans and new listeners, as Airbag continue to solidify their position as one of the most compelling acts in contemporary progressive rock.
