On Saturday, November 1st and Sunday, November 2, 2025, The Beta Band concluded their first tour in nearly two decades at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, NY.
The Scottish group had a band member (John Maclean) warming up the show with a DJ set, and then taking stage after his set to perform songs from their catalog.
I covered the second night on Sunday for Bowery Presents and the full gallery is now available on “The House List”. I last saw the band perform in August 2001, when they opened for Radiohead, and it was a real treat to see them live again and will keep my fingers crossed that they’re able to return less than 20 years from now.
