Ibibio Sound Machine

Fronted by Nigerian singer Eno Williams, Ibibio Sound Machine are one of the most compelling and forward-thinking bands emerging from the UK scene - a genre-defying afro-futurist collective blending West African rhythms, electronic textures, disco, post-punk and global club energy into a sound that’s as powerful on record as it is explosive live.

Formed in London in 2013 around the magnetic vocals of British-Nigerian frontwoman Eno Williams and co-founder Max Grunhard, the 8-piece ensemble have built a formidable body of work and a loyal global following. Their discography spans 5 critically-acclaimed albums that showcase their evolution from afro-electronic innovators to dancefloor commanders.

'Chopping Mountain', their newest record, is the clearest rendering yet of the London collective’s longstanding mission to promote love, unity, and resistance through music.

They’ve performed around the globe including high profile sets at Glastonbury, WOMAD Australia & NZ, Wilderness, 6Music Festival, Green Man, Rock En Seine, Glastonbury and many more, as well as supporting Coldplay at Wembley Stadium, and appearing on Later…With Jools Holland twice and a KEXP live session.
