Summary

Unsafe Space Garden is a genre-bending outfit from Portugal known for their chaotic, theatrical and deeply immersive live shows. With a sound rooted in neo-psychedelia, experimental rock and a touch of surreal humour, the band pushes musical boundaries with fearless creativity and a clear artistic vision. Described by European press as “a surrealist orchestra,” their concerts often blur the line between performance and ritual - unpredictable, cathartic and strangely uplifting. Their critically acclaimed albums Bro, You Got Something In Your Eye – A Guided Meditation (2021) and Where’s The Ground? (2023) draw comparisons to artists like Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart or The Flaming Lips, while forging a language uniquely their own. More than just experimentalists, Unsafe Space Garden are storytellers - unpredictable, emotional and sonically adventurous. A live act designed to be seen, heard, and remembered.
