A return show for The Herbaliser Band who wowed us back in 2018. The legendary Ninja Tune outfit revolutionised the UK trip hop sound with their sample based fusion of jazz and hip hop in the mid 90s, and would go on to inspire and work with countless hip hop greats over the past three decades. Their 8 piece all star lineup blasted the dancefloor last time, do not miss!
