UPCOMING SHOWS at Daily Op. Well well well, here is the killer live music lineup we have for you thus far for 2026 at our periodic but tenaciously curated DIY venue. All affordable + all bangers.
FIRST UP, we have the genre defying trio featuring Chris Forysth (Solar Motel Band), Mikel Patrick Avery (Exploding Star Orchestra) and Doug McCombs (Tortoise)
Working with guitars, drum machine, sampler, self-built electronics, and all manner of percussion, BASIC, synthesize the vast influences and histories of each member, producing a boundary-less, rhythm-forward amalgam of art rock, trance jazz, collective improvisation, and humming electronics on their new eponymous full-length, out June 12, 2026 on No Quarter.
Joining will be Western MA’s own
NEXT, on 7/28 we have Mark Robinson, who is the man behind the legendary militantly DIY label, leader of the seminal band, Unrest, and member of countless others (Air Miami, Flin Flon, Grenadine). His work, especially aesthetically, was a big influence on Daily Op and is straight up one of my favorite musicians. He will be performing a ton of Unrest classics at breakneck speed.
Co Headlining will be featuring another one of favorite people .brokaw. LC features members of Come, Codeine, Pullman, The Bleeding Hickeys, and many others. They’ll be celebrating their fantastic new record “Inverno”
On 8/18, our first Griselda appearance lands with . He is likely the best contemporary embodiment of the pure MC in the classic sense.
Opening up will be the biggest of homies and
9/24 sees and billy woods return with to rock the best record of ‘25, “Mercy”, their collaboration with The Alchemist.
FINALLY, a co-pro with my bud at : bring their 4-d Venn diagram of unworldly sounds: hypnotic, polyrhythmic music drawing on minimalism, krautrock, free jazz, just intonation, and global folk traditions.
Opening up will be the valley’s No Thankyou, a new Math Rock-ish duo.
