Ibibio Sound Machine are one of the most compelling and forward-thinking bands emerging from the UK scene - a genre-defying afro-futurist collective blending West African rhythms, electronic textures, disco, post-punk and global club energy into a sound that’s as powerful on record as it is explosive live.

Formed in London in 2013 around the magnetic vocals of British-Nigerian frontwoman Eno Williams and co-founder Max Grunhard, the 8-piece ensemble have built a formidable body of work and a loyal global following

Their discography spans 5 critically-acclaimed albums that showcase their evolution from afro-electronic innovators to dancefloor commanders.

They’ve performed around the globe including high profile sets at Glastonbury, WOMAD Australia & NZ, Wilderness, 6Music Festival, Green Man, Rock En Seine, Glastonbury and many more, as well as supporting Coldplay at Wembley Stadium, and appearing on Later…With Jools Holland twice and a KEXP live session.

Their 6th album will be released later in 2026 on Merge records.
