Dreadzone is a british band whose music is an eclectic fusion of dub, reggae, dance, and folk. They have so far produced four studio albums and one live album.

Dreadzone formed in 1993 when ex-Big Audio Dynamite drummer Greg Roberts teamed up with Tim Bran, who had previously worked as a musician and sound engineer for Julian Cope. The name 'Dreadzone' was suggested to Greg and Tim by Don Letts.

Tim and Greg were soon joined by bassist Leo Williams, also formerly of Big Audio Dynamite. The band signed to Creation Records in 1993 and released their first album 360°. The following year the band signed to Virgin Records and released their second studio album Second Light. In the meantime, Dreadzone had become a favourite festival act and in June that year played the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival.

John Peel championed Dreadzone on Radio 1, and cited Second Light as one of his favourite albums of all time. Tracks from Second Light also dominated Peel's Festive Fifty in 1995, and the band recorded six Peel Sessions between 1993 and 2001.

Between 1998 and 2001 the Dreadzone Soundsystem hosted the popular Dubwiser club night at Notting Hill Arts Club.

Dreadzone recently performed at the 2005 Bestival music festival held yearly on the Isle of Wight, however they also regularly tour the United Kingdom playing smaller venues.
