The Barefoot Bandit are a heavy-weight ensemble based in the South-West, UK. The band mixes various musical styles, incorporating elements of reggae, punk rock, dub and world music.

 Building a strong and loyal fan base, TBB have spread their sounds far and wide. Packed out shows at prestigious venues such as the Electric Ballroom in Camden have seen The Barefoot Bandit become a must watch act on the UK touring and festival circuit.

 The group released their much-anticipated debut album at the end of 2022 to much acclaim, with their cover of Groove Armarda's "By the River" getting multiple plays on BBC6. The 16 date "Hello Welcome" tour supports this release in 2023, ahead of UK and international festival dates.

Festival highlights include appearances at Glastonbury Festival, Boardmasters, Boomtown Fair, Beautiful Days and more including headline slots and main stage displays at some of the UK's favourite music festivals.

Having reached #4 in the iTunes reggae charts, TBB have self released 2 EPs. Both records have received national airplay from the likes of legendary DJ David Rodigan on BBC Radio 1 Extra and numerous plays on BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Introducing.

 The Bandit has had the pleasure of supporting renowned artists such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Katchafire, The Cat Empire, Easy Star All-Stars, Dubioza Kolectiv, Gentleman's Dub Club, Horace Panter & Lynval Golding (The Specials) and have been regular openers for electronica dub favourites, Dreadzone.
