Saint Agnes

Event ID: MS63309

Thu, Mar 12, 2026 | 1:00 AM - 1:30 AM

Venue: British Music Embassy @ Palm Door on Sixth

View on Official SXSW

Summary

Fronted by the magnetic Kitty A. Austen, Saint Agnes are industrial for those who want a fight, not a DJ set. Austen leads a visceral collision of sophisticated pop hooks and raw machine-intensity, dragging club culture through distorted amps and spitting it back out as something physical, melodic, and dangerously alive. Synths throb and drums hit like blunt force; it’s danceable, but its heart bleeds. Their new album, Your God Fearing Days Are About To Begin (Spinefarm/Universal), is built on a simple mantra: "let death bloom with life." It is grief turned gasoline, an artistic era defined by turning personal sorrow into radiant, stadium-ready power. Mixed by Jim Pinder (Sleep Token, Bring Me The Horizon), the record is the sound of stepping forward, teeth bared. Austen’s "visceral and hypnotic" energy has been hailed by Nick Cave, cementing the band’s reputation for sweat-soaked live shows that feel less like gigs and more like ritual. With over 12 million streams and explosive mainstage sets at Hellfest and Download, Saint Agnes arrive at SXSW as, in the words of BBC Radio 1, "the future of rock music." Authentic. Uncompromising. Alive.
