Beat masters Dub Pistols return to The Brickyard in Carlisle after a packed out show in March.

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 2024 like there’s no tomorrow.

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.

Throughout an eight-album career and thousands of shows, the band has rolled with the punches, enduring setbacks before piecing themselves back together and morphing into one of the most loved and enduring festival bands on the circuit.

With support from Funke and The Two Tone Baby, the Dub Pistols will play at The Brickyard on Friday, March 15, with tickets available for £18.
