Malt Room Standing | Plus Support From North Fire Sound
One of the most unique and enjoyable live dub acts on the planet, Zion Train’s use of dynamic onstage dub mixing whilst performing alongside acoustic instruments and exceptional vocalists make this group one of a kind.
Zion Train were initially formed in Oxford as a sound system in 1988 by Neil Perch and Ben Hamilton. Colin Cod and Dave Tench joined in 1990 upon relocation to London. The original line-up was added to with vocalist Molara in 1992.
Their initial releases were the 7″ singles Power One and Power Two, which became hits on the dub scene in the early 1990s. In 1992 they released the groundbreaking Follow Like Wolves single, which fused dub and acid house styles and spawned their reputation as innovators.
In the 21st century the band have released a Jamaican Grammy winning album Live As One (Universal Egg 2007) , alongside several other albums and remix albums – the latest of which is the 2021 released Illuminate In Dub.
Zion Train have always prided themselves on working in autonomous, politically active environments alongside agitators and activists attempting to put the energy of their music to the best possible uses.
In their lifetime Zion Train Have played well over 3000 shows Including Woodstock (Poland), Madasound (Martinique), Fusion Festival (Germany), Sierra Nevada World Music Festival (USA), Rototom Sunsplash (Italy/Spain), Outlook (Croatia), Boomtown (UK), Glastonbury Festival (UK) 15 TIMES, Seasplash Festival (Croatia), Bababoom Festival (Italy), Wickerman Festival (UK), Reggae Geel (Belgium), Universo Parallelo (Brazil), Reggae Sun Ska (France), Ostrada Reggae Festival (Poland), Asigiri Jam (Japan), Woodstock Festival (Poland), Sziget (Hungary), Exit (Serbia), Bielawa (Poland), Solipse (Zambia), Universo Parallelo (Brazil), Island Vibes and Rainbow Serpent (Australia).
Support comes from North Fire Sound, who’ll be getting the vibes going plus hosting an official afterparty at Ruskins straight after the show!
