Dub Pistols + The Barefoot Bandit

A feast of jump-up party-starting sounds, melding dub, reggae, dancehall & ska

*THIS IS THE RESCHEDULED GIG FROM 1ST DECEMBER, ALL ORIGINAL TICKETS REMAIN VALID*

 

Not many acts stay together for a quarter of a century and still remain firing on all cylinders. But the Dub Pistols juggernaut rolls on, exploring fresh sonic pastures and accelerating into their 25th anniversary, their Silver Jubilee — like there’s no tomorrow.

The Dubs may have had an easier ride of it if they’d been a cartoon band like Gorillaz. There wouldn’t have been assorted band member casualties along the way, for starters, as life on the road took its toll. The multi-cultural collective has involved dozens of artists and musicians over the years — some remaining for years, a few for the duration, and others just popping in for a guest appearance. Their sound has accordingly morphed a variety of times since their inception: taking in dub, punk, jungle, ska, breakbeat, hip-hop and a whole lot more, it’s been a long road travelled.

SUPPORT – The Barefoot Bandit

The heavy weight ensemble mixes various musical styles, incorporating elements of reggae, punk rock, dub and world music.
Building a strong and loyal fan base, TBB have spread their sounds far and wide. Packed out shows at prestigious venues such as the Electric Ballroom in Camden have seen The Barefoot Bandit become a must watch act on the UK touring and festival circuit.
