Chalk is the project of award-winning musicians and filmmaker duo Ross Cullen and Benedict Goddard. An informed mix of Dublin's Guitar Band scene and the sweaty hardcore dance floors of their native Belfast, Chalk are IDLES meets Daniel Avery, Death Grips meets Bicep-techno infused industrial punk. Since forming in 2022, Chalk have had a rise like no other, quickly establishing themselves as an unmissable live act and unpredictable, ferocious songwriters. Their debut UK/IRE tour sold out, and led to further bookings across Europe as word of their performance and guitar- melded techno spread via word of mouth and support with national radio in the UK. These songs were collated into the Conditions Trilogy, a family of thirteen tracks that combine gritty Irish and German - influenced techno and dance music with gothic, post-punk and jagged guitar riffs and vocal melodies. This unique blend earned them the support and kudos of their peers in Fontaines D.C., IDLES and Sprints, all of whom handpicked the band to support them throughout their tours. With support from radio tastemakers (BBC 6Music, BBC Radio 1, KEXP, Sirius XM, FM4, Kink FM, 3voor12), mainstream and alternative music press (Rolling Stone, NME, The Independent, DIY, DORK), performances at some of the top festivals in the world (Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Eurosonic, BBK, Trans Musicales) and sold out headlines across the UK, Ireland and Europe (London, Paris, Berlin, Milan, Amsterdam, Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow, Belfast etc), the rise of Chalk has been metioric. Now signed with Alter Music out of New York, the band have sequestered in rural Ireland to record their debut LP, which will be released in early 2026. Presented by Kilowatt. This is a 21+ event
