Legendary UK band Asian Dub Foundation is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year!
Asian Dub Foundation are a genre unto themselves. Their unique combination of jungliest
rhythms, dub bass lines and wild guitar overlaid by references to their South Asian roots via
militant high-speed rap has established them as one of the best live bands in the world. The
story began in the early 90’s when ADF formed from a music workshop in East London at the
institution which is their spiritual home, Community Music. Their unique beginnings in a music
workshop in east London shaped both their sound and their educational aspirations, setting
up their own organisation ADF Education (ADFED), plus instigating campaigns on behalf of
those suffering miscarriages of justice.
Building a solid live reputation in the mid-90’s, they gained worldwide recognition sharing the
stage with Rage Against The Machine, the Beastie Boys, Radiohead and Primal Scream. On
record, they've collaborated with Radiohead, Sinead O'Connor, Iggy Pop, Adrian Sherwood,
and Chuck D. In addition to their blistering live reputation ADF were one of the first bands to
experiment with live film re-scores (“Cineconcerts”), beginning with their rapturouslyreceived
re-interpretation of the French classic La Haine back in 2001.
In 30 years, Asian Dub Foundation have racked up 1000’s of unforgettable shows, 9 studio
albums alongside a social and educational activism that both created the group and sustains
them today. In celebration of the longevity of this unique project they are announcing an
extensive European tour for 2024-25 of more than 60 shows and a special album showcasing
their many iconic collaborations. “94-Now: Collaborations” will be released in September
2024!
