ELLiS·D to Perform in Hungary for the First Time
ELLiS·D, the solo project of Ellis Dickson, is coming to Hungary for the very first time on September 23 for a genre-blending, explosive live show at Dürer Kert.
Originally stepping into the spotlight as a drummer-turned-frontman, Ellis Dickson has steadily built momentum around ELLiS·D over the past year. Thanks to relentless touring and electrifying live performances, the project has quickly become one of the most exciting emerging acts around — with Far Out Magazine recently describing the show as “one of the most thrilling live experiences of recent months.”
Performing alongside a constantly evolving collective of Brighton-based musicians, Dickson — while also drumming internationally for Fat Dog and Johnny Borrell’s Jealous Nostril project — has toured with acts such as Razorlight and shared stages with The Goa Express, Flip Top Head, Melts, Plantoid, Vinyl Williams, Youth Sector and The DSM IV, among others.
The 2023 EP Hullo, Reality and the singles that followed, released via Brighton’s Crafting Room Recordings, earned Dickson significant radio play and press attention. His music has regularly appeared on BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X, while major UK music outlets including NME and So Young Magazine have also championed the project.
Over the past two years, ELLiS·D has been longlisted for both the Green Man Rising and Glastonbury Emerging Talent competitions, while this year’s biggest festival appearance came at Kendal Calling on Tim Burgess’s curated stage. The act has also made strong impressions at events such as Soundcity, The Great Escape and Live at Leeds, as well as at European festivals including Best Kept Secret and Haldern Pop.
Musically, ELLiS·D blends glam punk, psychedelia and gothic atmospheres into a distinctive sonic world: live shows packed with breakneck riffs, unexpected turns and cathartic returns. The second EP, Spill — written and performed entirely by Dickson with producer Shuta Shinoda — further amplifies this intense and immersive sound. The closing track, Drifting, is a dark, glam-punk-fuelled journey steeped in 21st-century paranoia.
ELLiS·D will perform in Budapest on September 23 at Dürer Kert - an evening guaranteed to deliver one of the year’s most exciting live music experiences.
