Bio
Few bands have shaped the outer edges of rock music quite like Hawkwind. Emerging from the UK underground in the late 1960s, they became pioneers of space rock — fusing hypnotic rhythms, driving basslines, swirling synthesisers and science-fiction storytelling into an immersive live experience that has influenced generations of artists across rock, metal, punk and electronic music.
Renowned as one of Britain’s most enduring and innovative live acts, Hawkwind’s reputation has been built as much on the stage as in the studio. Their concerts are a sensory journey: expansive, heavy, psychedelic and relentlessly forward-moving. Decades into their career, the band remain fiercely relevant, continuing to evolve their sound while staying true to the cosmic pulse that has defined them since the beginning.
Hawkwind’s live shows have become legendary across the UK festival circuit, where they attract a devoted multi-generational following. From major UK tours to iconic festival appearances, their performances are celebrated for their intensity, musicianship and immersive atmosphere — a rare combination that few bands can sustain over such a long and influential career.
At Morvala Festival of Arts, Hawkwind bring their unmistakable sound to Cornwall, adding a true legacy act to the festival’s carefully curated programme. Set against the dramatic landscape of Mount Edgcumbe, this performance promises to be a defining moment — a collision of progressive rock history, cutting-edge live performance and one of the most beautiful festival locations in the UK.
For fans searching for unforgettable Cornwall festivals, iconic UK live bands, and tour-level performances in extraordinary settings, Hawkwind at Morvala is a rare chance to experience one of Britain’s most important and uncompromising bands in full flight.
