The electronic beat anarchists Dub Pistols have been abusing our speakers and tweeters for over two decades and show no signs of easing up on the rampant rhythms just yet. Barely a festival on the planet passes by without the full on infectious groove energy of Dub Pistols rousing the converted and radicalising the uninitiated in a blaze of riotous punk beat dance noise. First single ‘There’s Gonna Be a Riot’ set the tone of their careers combining massive rocksteady beats and stomping ska noise, whilst driving an irresistible dancefloor ethic, Dub Pistols are incredible live and you will be rocking. Local reggae twiddlers Kioko are the perfect appetisers and will be letting loose with a DJ set. Will sell out.
