An "old-skool dub and dread" band who have taken to the stage at Glastonbury are coming to Bury next month.
Dreadzone, known for their unique range of "energy, dub and post-rave influence", will be playing The Met as part of their UK tour on Saturday, October 8.
Since their inception in 1993, the five-piece band who opened the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 1994, is said to have been refining their sound.
Their blend of electro, dub and reggae has filled their singles including their Top 20 hit, "Little Britain".
Looking forward to returning to club shows after a great Summer - it's time to freshen the selection and fire up the rhythms as the Autumn tour begins in @ColchesterArts and @rescuerooms in Nottingham THIS WEEKEND 💥🔥
