This nine-piece explosion of ska, rap and brassy dub is tearing up audiences around the world. Tens of thousands of people from Brazil to Jamaica, India to Canada, from Tajikistan to their native UK have witnessed the force the band is on stage.

Maroon Town formed in Brixton, London, by two childhood pals, fusing the spirituality, and cinematic sound of classic ska with contemporary street rap and a cheeky slice of Latin funk. The band takes its inspiration from the original rebels of Maroon Town in Jamaica who fought off the colonial invaders and set up their ownindependent community.

Members past and present have also played with Groove Armada, Morcheeba, The Streets, Dub Pistols, Freestylers, the Heatwave, Mika, and also with numerous reggae artists out of Jamaica. The list is endless.

Throughout its rich illustrious history – from busking on the Metro of Barcelona to playing huge stadiums and arenas in Venezuela and festivals across UK, Europe and Asia, Maroon Town have never failed to deliver.
