Revelation Roots deliver a unique, uplifting blend of roots reggae, stomping ska, and deep dub, laced with bluesy grooves and phat, funky basslines. Hailing from the South West UK, this powerhouse band brings infectious energy and soulful sounds to every stage they hit.
For over a decade, Revelation Roots have been lighting up dance floors and lifting festival crowds with original tunes and high-octane live shows. Their dynamic sets are guaranteed to get the place bouncing.
A regular fixture on the UK festival circuit – including stages at Beautiful Days, Boardmasters, and Tropical Pressure – the band has shared the spotlight with icons like The Specials, Aswad, Toots & the Maytals, The Beat, The Selecter, Zion Train, and Gentleman’s Dub Club.
Recently featured on BBC Music Introducing, Revelation Roots continue to grow their national presence, turning heads and gathering crowds wherever they go.

Machineries of Joy craft powerful, cinematic soundscapes that blend post-rock intensity with electronic textures and emotive melodies. With a name that echoes the euphoric and the dystopian, their music takes listeners on a dynamic journey - at once immersive, expansive, and deeply human.
South West-based and forged through years of collaboration, Machineries of Joy are known for atmospheric live shows that build from delicate minimalism to thunderous crescendos. Layered guitars, synths, and driving rhythms combine to create a sound that’s both raw and refined - music that stirs the soul and moves the body.
Having captivated audiences at venues and festivals across the UK, the band continues to carve out a unique space, drawing comparisons to the likes of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Radiohead - while remaining defiantly their own.
With recent airplay on BBC Introducing and a growing reputation for transcendent live performances, Machineries of Joy are fast becoming a name to watch on the UK alt-music scene.
