Sell Out Warning! One of the heaviest to ever do it, now half a century young! Even at Carnival, you can feel the Jah Tubbys energy emanating from their sacred spot on Argyle Road. Now come celebrate London’s ‘Hooligan Sound’ at Teachings in Dub with Bristol’s foundational Bass-I creeping up to the 50 year marker too. Expect the heaviest steppas, the deepest roots, the upful dub vibrations. Essential. Teachings in Dub
50 Years of Jah Tubbys at The Trinity Centre.
Sell Out Warning. Ever heard 'Ukrainian Ethno Chaos'? Then you haven't lived. Dakhabrakha's otherworldly, experimental, folk-imbued incantations, can unlock primordial feels. Drawing on a wealth of vibrant worldly inspirations (whilst being firmly rooted in their Ukranian heritage), every time they play Bristol it sells out in iconic fashion. DakhaBrakha return to Bristol, after the monumental sell out show at The Lanes.
