Dreadzone celebrated 20 years in the game with the release of their 7th studio album Escapades in 2013.
Electro-dub pioneers Dreadzone formed in 1993 when ex-Big Audio Dynamite drummer Greg Roberts teamed up with Tim Bran, bassist Leo Williams and keyboardist Dan Donovan. A festival favourite, Dreadzone opened the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 1994 and began to bring their unique blend of electro, dub and reggae to a wider audience, going on to chart seven hit singles, including their Top 20 hit Little Britain.
Dreadzone released The Good, The Bad And The Dread – a compendium of their excellent musical story so far in 2011 and their groundbreaking 1995 album Second Light was re-released in March 2012. As well as live favourites from their back catalogue the band will be playing tracks from Escapades at their shows in 2015.
