Support on the night comes from Birmingham- and Wolverhampton-based Culture Dub Orchestra.

With dub firmly at the core Culture Dub Orchestra explores a range of cultures, backgrounds, and musical styles. A heavy roots drum and bass section is coloured by a variety of instruments and sounds, wild guitar solos, sound system brass, euphoric keys, and big percussion breaks; all coming together to take your mind on a spiritual nomadic journey. Think Jah Shaka meets Santana’s Soul Sacrifice. Although at the core Culture Dub Orchestra are an instrumental band, they often feature guest vocalists from varied musical backgrounds.
