The Barefoot Bandit

About

The Barefoot Bandit return to once again host one of their legendary nights at The Pheonix on the 6th November, with special guests to be announced!

Their electrifying live show has been winning over crowds across the country and beyond, blending deep, bass-heavy dub, vibrant reggae, anthemic hooks, and world-music energy into a sound that’s unmistakably their own. Hailing from the South-West, the Bandit remains true to its roots whilst built on a foundation of diverse musical influences. Their music crafts songs packed with towering brass lines, earth-shaking grooves, fearless rhythms, and conscious, razor-sharp lyricism whilst exploring everything from personal journeys to the wider human experience. Their debut album Hello Welcome (2022) turned heads nationwide, earning major support from Craig Charles (BBC Radio 6 Music), BBC Introducing, and reggae legend Sir David Rodigan (BBC Radio 1Xtra).

The Barefoot Bandit have made their mark on some of the UK’s biggest and most respected stages, including Glastonbury, Boardmasters, Boomtown Fair, Camp Bestival, Beautiful Days, Bearded Theory, and many more, while also performing at leading venues up and down the country. With growing momentum, they are now pushing further into Europe and taking their explosive live show to an expanding international audience. With a rapidly growing fanbase and work underway on Album #2, The Barefoot Bandit are gearing up for their biggest year yet.

“People are going crazy for it! A thing of beauty! Excellent Debut album.”
