Temples
British psychedelic rock band Temples performs at Prague's Rock Café.
Temples are a British neo-psychedelic rock band from Kettering, England, founded in 2012 by singer-guitarist James Bagshaw and bassist Tom Walmsley. Their debut album Sun Structures (2014) reached number seven on the UK Albums Chart and earned them international recognition, with Noel Gallagher among their notable admirers. Their fifth album, BLISS, arrives in June 2026 and marks a deliberate step into electronic and dance-influenced territory.
Temples release their fifth album BLISS on June 26, 2026 on the V2 Records label; it is their first recording with a pronounced electronic and dance sound.
The band announced the album BLISS and released the first single Jet Stream Heart, which blends psychedelic rock with the aesthetic of dance producers like Faithless and Underworld.
After a creative crisis following the release of the album Exotico (2023), the band moved to the V2 Records label and resumed working together in the recording studio.
Temples will perform on October 26, 2026 at Prague's Rock Café as part of the BLISS 2026 world tour.
The British music magazine Far Out in September 2025 assessed the band's career and noted that all members continue to pursue music - frontman James Bagshaw also works as a lecturer at Leeds Arts University.
