Matched with the unshakable dedication of their massive and “loyal-to-the-hilt", fan base, the band are more than just a very popular, festival act – with five albums under their belts, they are serious and acclaimed recording artists too.

The famous purple happy bus is fired up and ready for action, and there’s room for you – jump aboard!
