Arc of Triumph

Arc of Triumph are an alternative rock band from Leeds, playing a concert at Hyde Park Book Club, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows. The project grew out of a studio experiment begun in 2017.

Arc of Triumph are an alternative rock act from Leeds whose music is built on cinematic soundscapes and rich vocal harmonies. Their lyrics return to the rise and collapse of states and individuals alike, weighing personal and political power. Simon Elvin and Rory Holl, who have worked together for a long time, formed the project, which began in 2017 as a studio experiment and gradually developed into a band.

The group started without a name or a fixed plan, recording tracks that became their self-titled debut album. In summer 2025 that record was revisited, remixed and remastered, and it was issued on vinyl for the first time. Other titles associated with the act are Wot Gorilla?, A-tota-so, Matador, Still Bodies and New Work.

The concert takes place at Hyde Park Book Club, a Leeds venue that hosts concerts and shows, and offers a chance to hear the band's catalogue performed live in the city.
