Caskets

Post-hardcore band after sold-out shows in March

Germany again at the end of 2025

Support: The Word Alive

Their modern post-hardcore sound with influences from alternative rock has made the British band Caskets instantly famous within their scene. Their debut album "Lost Souls" has collected a total of 244 million streams on Spotify since its release in August 2021 and contains their three biggest hits to date: "Glass Heart", "Lost In Echoes" and "Drowned In Emotion". In addition to touring the US and Europe supporting bands such as Bad Omens, Normandie, Set It Off, Bless The Fall and many more, Caskets have played festivals such as Download, Slam Dunk and Aftershock Festival. After sold-out shows in March 2025, the Brits are coming back to Germany at the end of the year and will play three headline shows in Munich, Dortmund and Hanover from December 1st to 6th. Support is the hardcore band The Word Alive from Phoenix, Arizona.

Founded in 2018 in Leeds under the name Captives, the band released their debut single "Ghost Like You" via the YouTube channel Dreambound and quickly attracted attention with their atmospheric post-hardcore sound. The debut EP of the same name followed in April 2019, on which "Signs" became the first major hit. After the standalone single "Falling Apart", Sharptone Records signed Caskets . In December 2020, "Glass Heart" was released as the first single from the upcoming debut album and has since become the band's most successful song, with more than 78 million streams on Spotify. In 2021, the musicians changed their band name to Caskets due to a trademark dispute in the UK and released the single "Lost In Echoes", which continued the success of its predecessor with more than 53 million streams. The release of the third single "The Only Ones" was followed by the long-awaited debut album "Lost Souls" in August 2021, which elevated the band from the status of an insider tip to the next level within the post-hardcore scene. In 2023, Caskets released their second album "Reflections", which revealed three more hits with "Guiding Light", "More Than Misery" and "By The Sound", whose lyrics are mainly characterized by the personal experiences of singer Matt Flood.
