Hayden Pedigo

Hayden Pedigo

2 Sept 2025 - 7 Sept 2025

Hayden Pedigo has lived many lives, having been homeschooled in Amarillo, Texas by his truck-stop preacher father, run for Amarillo City Council in 2019, aged 25-as documented by Jasmine Stodel’s SXSW-premiering, PBS-acquired film Kid Candidate-and struck up pen-friendships and collaborative partnerships with the likes of Terry Allen, Charles Hayward (This Heat), Werner “Zappi” Diermaier (Faust), and Tim Heidecker. A move south from Amarillo to Lubbock in 2020 put a spark to the powder keg of his creativity. “It’s even more flat, desolate, windy and dirty - like being on Mars,” Pedigo observes. “It’s pushed me to create more because there’s not really much to distract.” The move produced not only The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored and its predecessor, 2021’s Letting Go, but also an Internet presence that showcases a panoply of ever-more outlandish outfits and an effortless deadpan wit. Both the former and the latter helped parlay him into the fashion world, too, having walked the runway for Gucci and been photographed by Hedi Slimane. Mexican Summer released The Happiest Times I Ever Ignored, Pedigo’s sixth studio album and second for the label, in 2023 and Live in Amarillo, Texas in 2024. Please Please You & Brudenell Presents... This is a 14+ event (Under 18s to be accompanied by an adult)

The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die
One of the more dynamic bands to arise from a new wave of emo that began in the late 2000s and early 2010s, the World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die laces driving, emotionally raw songwriting with electronic elements and the drawn-out atmospheres of bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Explosions in the Sky. Their intricately molded sound changed somewhat on each of their critically applauded releases, and their lineup shifted often. TWIABP&IANLATD broke through to new audiences with their 2015 high-water mark Harmlessness, and took on a more streamlined lineup and sound on 2021's Illusory Walls.
