Active are proud to announce the first ever Wellington show for UK legends the
Dub Pistols.
Proudly working class and arguably one of the hardest working bands in the
business, the Dub Pistols have been tearing up venues and festivals throughout
their career.
The Dub Pistols reputation as an explosive live act has seen them turn into
festival regulars, with the band headlining some of the biggest festivals in
Europe including Glastonbury, Bestival, and Beat-Herder.
Known for their rhythmical blend of bass, turntables, and horns, their 18-year
career has seen them work with their biggest heroes like The Specials, Busta
Rhymes, Horace Andy, and Madness.
Inspired by the Second Summer of Love, the band were founded by ubiquitous
Londoner Barry Ashworth in 1996 and have been at the forefront of beats culture
ever since.
They’ve also seen band members come and go, and have gone from the brink of
multi-million-dollar international success to the edge of destruction and back
again. Their new album Crazy Diamonds finds themselves at their bass-driven
best.
Their bass-driven live show has seen them win numerous plaudits along the way
and recent live guests have included vocalists Rodney P, The
Specials’ Terry Hall and Neville Staple, rap wünderkid T.K., Sugardaddy horn-blower Tim
Hutton & scratch maestro, DJ Stix.
The Dub Pistols play Wellington for the first time on Friday February 22nd
2018.
