Following the release of their album Double Infinity last year, Big Thief have announced the unveiling of the Big Thief Live Archive, a new website dedicated to documenting the variety of the band’s live performances. Launching with 10 recordings captured by front-of-house engineer Alice Wilder and monitor engineer Aleda Deroche, and mixed by 4AD’s in-house engineer Fabian Prynn, the archive will expand with a new live recording added on the second Tuesday of every month. Fans will be able to build their own sets, creating playlists of their favourite live takes across the ever growing collection of live shows. In addition, they release a special live performance of one of ‘Incomprehensible (Live at 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland April 29 2026)’ which is available across all streaming services. 

The band share, "Dear friends, For the last couple of years we’ve been creating a Big Thief Live Archive website, where you can find full, mixed concerts from the recent and distant past. Every show we play holds a different energy. The songs are always changing and sound different every night, and we spend so much more time on the road than in studios, and so we felt a desire to create something that captures the ever-undulating aliveness of our music through time. In around 2019 we started recording all of our shows. There are 10 shows up right now and we will be adding new ones to the archive on the second Tuesday of every month hopefully forever. It’s all free. We made the website interactive so that you can choose tracks and make your own playlists. Thank you so much to all who have come out to our shows over the years, it’s been such a treat revisiting these. We love you so much! Warmly, Big Thief".
