About

The Situation presents Helicon with special guests The Crystal Teardrop.

Glasgow's Helicon are one of the most exciting bands on the UK psych scene so it gives us much cause for excitement as they play at The Foxlowe in April promoting their 4th studio album, ARISE. A collaboration with LA-based artist and DJ AL Lover, the album is out Friday 13th February 2026 on Fuzz Club.

Formed by brothers John-Paul and Gary Hughes in East Kilbride, Glasgow, Scotland. Known for the intensity of their live shows, their sound blends psychedelia, electronica, guitars and sitars with a spirit of counter-cultural experimentation.

Since signing to Fuzz Club in 2017, their music has featured on BBC Radio 6 Music, and they’ve previously collaborated with Tony Doogan (Mogwai / Delgados / Belle & Sebastian / David Byrne), Will Carruthers (Spacemen 3 / The Brian Jonestown Massacre/ Spiritualized / Dead Skeletons), and Mark Gardener (Ride).

The band has toured UK/EU regularly over the last 5-6 years including sold out shows in Glasgow, London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, with show stealing performances at major festivals including Fuzz Club Eindhoven, Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia, Manchester Psych Fest. Edinburgh Psych Fest, Stellar Swamp Fest and Kelburn Garden Party.
