L’Entourloop return to the UK for three huge shows this week!

Published

After selling out their first UK tour last October 2024, Hip-hop inna yardie style (old school fusion between reggae and hip-hop) collective L’Entourloop are coming back to the UK with a bigger and much powerful show, visiting stages in Manchester, Bristol and London this November.

Since 1964, when the song “My Boy Lollipop” flooded the European radio airwaves, L’Entourloop’s love for reggae and its culture has never stopped growing. The success of their albums “La clarté dans la confusion” (2022), “Le Savoir Faire” (2017) and “Chickens in Your Town” (2015) with their famous “Banging Hip-Hop Inna Yardie Style” quickly brought L’Entourloop into the spotlight, along with their hundreds of shows performed all over Europe. The mysterious collective continues to bring together an ever-growing audience around the world, as proved by their hundreds of millions of plays on music platforms.

Another striking characteristic of L’Entourloop is the great ability of King James and Sir Johnny to gather incredible guests from around the world. Whether with Skarra Mucci and their now gold certified classic “Dreader Than Dread” or their excellent EP “Golden Nuggets” (2019), Capleton for the extravagant remix of “Burn Dem Down”, producer Panda Dub they collaborated with on “Le Bonheur” or French singer Biga Ranx for their hit “Push The Limits”, L’Entourloop has the gift of giving birth to collaborations that mark the spirits. With no less than 32 guests from all over the world, MCs fling lyrics like guns like in a western movie and the new album is no exception!

On the reggae side, Jamaican legends such as Ken Boothe and Bounty Killer meet new generation stars such as Alborosie, Kabaka Pyramid, Queen Omega and Marcus Gad. On the hip-hop side Chali 2Na from legendary US group Jurassic 5, Swedish MC Promoe from Looptroop Rockers, US rapper Rêverie, the excellent JuJu Rogers, French beatmaker Degiheugi and the irresistible South African female rapper Dope St Jude all make appearances. The UK vibe can also be felt with features from jungle and dancehall pioneers General Levy and Tippa Irie as well as heavyweights of the grime scene Flowdan, Lady Chann and Killa P. Fellow French artists are also in the spotlight with guests such as Big Red, O.B.F and Manudigital.

For the string of 2025 UK live dates, L’Entourloop will be joined on stage by regular collaborators MCs Troy Berkley & Blabbermouf, trumpeter N’Zeng as well as Brazilian singer Flavia Coelho as a special guest. The UK dates will lead up to L’Entourloop’s final show of the year on Nov 29th at Adidas Arena in Paris.

11th November- Band On The Wall, Manchester.

12th November- Electric Bristol, Bristol.

A unique show for film buffs and music lovers alike is set to tour the UK & Europe this September.

‘Wes Banderson: The Music of Wes Anderson’, a celebration of the original score music and deep cut needle-drops from the films of Wes Anderson, is scheduled to come to Manchester, Bristol, London and Birmingham for four special shows this year.

Performing in Team Zissou livery, the five-piece ensemble effortlessly switch between instruments as they move between the soundtracks of ‘Rushmore’, ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’, ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’, ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’, ‘Moonrise Kingdom’, ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ and beyond.

The group performs pieces from composers Mark Mothersbaugh, Alexander Desplatt, Sven Libaek, Shankar-Jakishan, Maurice Ravel and more, accompanied by live projected visuals.

Creator/Director Adam Znaidi, who you may also know as the bass player of The Go! Team and co-founder of The Physics House Band, says: “The aim for this show was to make it feel like a ‘gig’, something that anyone could enjoy, even if they weren’t that familiar with Wes Anderson’s films. It gets really loud, it gets really quiet and takes you on a journey through a whole load of genres.”

For a taster, watch Wes Banderson perform ‘Shark Attack Theme’ from Wes Anderson’s ‘The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou’ here:
