Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings
‘Ambitious, genre-busting folk’ The Guardian
After 18 months away from touring (working on a new album to be released autumn 2024) Jon Boden & The Remnant Kings return to the live arena with their unique brand of post-apocalyptic folk played in a traditional style vs. traditional folk played with post-apocalyptic swagger.
The forthcoming album from Bellowhead front-man Boden promises Waitsian parlour ballads and Napoleonic power-pop, to be debuted on this tour alongside the band’s 15 year back-catalogue of traditional and original songs and tunes. The band combines a deep understanding of traditional music with musical audacity and theatrical brio, and features the enormous talents of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead), Rob Harbron (Leveret), Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman Band), Sally Hawkins (Bellowhead) and the vocals and pedal-steel guitar of cult singer-songwriter M.G. Boulter.

“Springy fingerpicking and rolling drums convey the thrill of an anarchic street celebration.” – The Independent

Running Time: 2hours 10minutes including interval. There is no support act.
