Iconoclast, visionary and purveyor of sheer joy – Dan Deacon’s total commitment to a genuinely boundary pushing live show has built the man a deserved reputation as one of the most life-affirming live artists performing these days.
This commitment to his craft has seen Deacon experimenting with full size robots; one drummer, two drummers, no drummers; developing an app for phones to allow audiences to be a part of the light show at gigs; playing on the floor; playing cantilevered above the stage; and building a spectacular video and light show.
As his headline shows grow ever bigger, he’s graced festival stages around the world, supported the likes of Miley Cyrus and Arcade Fire on their respective arena tours and headlined the London’s Roundhouse as part of Curtain Call series.
