Back with a new studio album and live shows in 2021, Hawkwind’s 34th album is a superb addition to the space rock genre they created.
The concept of ‘Somnia’ makes many allusions to sleep; through Roman mythology and the god of sleep Somnus; the lyrics tell the tale of sleepless paranoia, strange encounters, fevered dreams and meditation.
‘Somnia’ is released to coincide with the return of the band’s popular Hawkfest festival, which takes place on the 27th – 29th August in East Devon, and the anniversary of Hawkwind's first ever live gig in 1969.
The band will play their rearranged date at the London Palladium on Thursday 28th October preceded by September dates across the UK.
