Chvrches is a British synth-pop and indietronica band from Glasgow, formed in 2011 and signed to Virgin Records. Their debut album, The Bones of What You Believe, is the record most often associated with the group, and it established the combination of synthesiser melodies and vocals that defines their music.

The band's songs sit between pop and indie rock, with electronic textures carrying the melodies. The concert is presented as a pop, rock and indie night, which reflects the range of that catalogue.

The O2 Academy Birmingham hosts concerts and shows in the city, and this performance is a music night at the venue for listeners who know the band's records as well as those discovering them.
