The progressive/psychedelic rock band were formed by Australian musician Daevid Allen in 1967. Their music has also been described as space rock. The classic Gong line-up retired from regular touring in 2001, and there have been one-off reunions since, most recently in June 2008, Gong played two concerts in London: Queen Elizabeth Hall on the Southbank (opening Massive Attack's Meltdown festival) and the Forum.
Gong are currently working on a brand new forward-looking album called '2032', the same year that the Planet Gong makes full contact with the Planet Earth - and a major new chapter in the continually evolving Gong mythology. The album will be released September 2009.
The band's tour dates are as follows:
Thu 19 November O2 Academy, Bristol
Fri 20 November Lemon Grove, Exeter
Sat 21 November Manchester University (Academy), Manchester
