They’re back! Melding West African highlife, disco, post-punk and psychedelic electro soul, Ibibio Sound Machine set dancefloors alight wherever they play.
Their shows are high energy, high impact and absolutely unmissable, creating a party atmosphere, picking up audiences and taking them with them on a sea of joy. Fronted by charismatic singer Eno Williams, the eight-piece band have taken their funky grooves, infectious rhythms, deep electronica synth beats to festivals across Europe.
