🇺🇦 Side-Line stands with Ukraine - Show your Support

Spanish electro-industrial act Larva have announced UK and Spanish live dates for autumn 2026, and the Larva tour dates pair a four-show UK run supporting Massive Ego with two hometown appearances in Barcelona. The Barcelona-based band confirmed the schedule through their official channels, with the UK leg running from 3 to 6 September and the Spanish dates set for late September and Halloween.

The UK shows place Larva on Massive Ego’s first headline UK tour, the “Symphony Of Flies Tour”, which the British darkwave act built around their 2026 album for Out Of Line Music. After four dates alongside Massive Ego, the duo return home for Barnadark Fest III and a DJ set at Barcelona’s Nocturna Festival.

Larva tour dates for autumn 2026

3 September 2026 – Nottingham, UK – The Old Cold Store (with Massive Ego)
4 September 2026 – Glasgow, UK – Ivory Blacks (with Massive Ego)
5 September 2026 – Sheffield, UK – Corporation (with Massive Ego)
6 September 2026 – London, UK – The Lexington (with Massive Ego)
26 September 2026 – Barcelona, Spain – Barnadark Fest III
31 October 2026 – Barcelona, Spain – Nocturna Festival (DJ set)

The four UK dates are support slots on the Massive Ego tour, which also carries Dead Lights and The Silent Era. Tickets for the UK shows are on sale through the venues. The Nocturna Festival appearance on 31 October is a DJ set rather than a live show; the Barcelona edition takes place at Sala Upload.

About Larva

Larva is a dark electro and electro-industrial project from Barcelona. InqUesT founded it in 1998 under the name Morbid Mind and reshaped it as Larva in 2003. Most of the catalogue has appeared through the Hungarian label Advoxya Records, and the project has worked the European dark-electro circuit for more than two decades, performing as a duo.

Side-Line covered the band’s eleventh studio album, “Void”, on its 2021 release through Advoxya, and spoke with the band for a ‘Click Interview’ in 2020. Larva followed “Void” with “The Rat King” in 2023 and the 14-track “Prescindibles”, issued on CD by Advoxya on 21 January 2025. The autumn 2026 dates take Larva back to the UK alongside Massive Ego and close the year with two Barcelona appearances.

For almost 15 years I’ve been writing about music, interviewing artists and reviewing releases for Peek-A-Boo Magazine. Recently, I also launched my own WordPress website, where I continue to share interviews, reviews and news from the underground scene. The darker side of music has been part of my life for more than 30 years, with a passion for everything from ’80s synthpop and New Wave to EBM, Futurepop and dark electronic music in general. Also Metal and Rock is part of my world. Away from the scene, I work in a public library, where books are part of my everyday life. I enjoy both fiction and non-fiction, especially books on politics, religion, health and travel. I’m also a fan of thrillers and horror films. When I’m not listening to music or reading, you’ll usually find me exploring nature, enjoying a good sauna, experimenting with vegan cooking, or travelling to my second home, Finland. I’ve always believed the underground has the best stories. My job is simply to help tell them

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
