Renowned for their haunting melodies and evocative lyricism, The Darkling Air return to the Walled Garden with much to celebrate. The duo released their debut album, Untamed & Beloved, at Open House Festival in 2016, introducing their distinctive sound, atmospheric arrangements, and intricate harmonies. For the first time in a decade, they will become a nine-piece ensemble, expanding their sound for this special anniversary performance. The Darkling Air will be joined by David C. Clements, Jackie Rainey, Emma Doran and Arco String Quartet.

“Together, we’ll perform music from across all three albums, alongside a selection of standout songs from David. We can promise an immersive and uplifting set full of energy and heart, and we can’t wait to celebrate a decade of The Darkling Air at our home festival.” – Rachel McCarthy.

All ages welcome but u18s must be accompanied by an adult  Train friendly 

Please note: The Darkling Air at Bangor Castle Walled Garden is a seated event. If you have any accessibility requirements please contact us. There is no bar at the Walled Garden but you are welcome to bring your own refreshments.
