Bonfire Radicals

About this event

---

Bonfire Radicals are a high-energy folk powerhouse whose genre-defying live show is as joyful as it is explosive. Drawing on original and traditional music from across the British Isles and the Balkans, their sound fuses pounding grooves, virtuosic instrumentation, rich vocal harmonies and moments of spellbinding a cappella. Renowned for their exhilarating stage presence, the band have been described as "dynamic and high octane" (Fatea Magazine) and "a serious powerhouse of a performance... foot-stomping and adrenalin-powered" (The Arts Desk ????). Immersive, celebratory and unpredictable, their performances push boldly at the edges of folk traditions - folk music with a fearless, contemporary edge. Their 2022 album The Space Between entered the UK Folk Charts at #13 and received widespread critical acclaim. In summer 2026, Bonfire Radicals tour with a brand new album, with the record available to buy at shows before its official release.
