Toots and the Maytals

Reggae legends Toots and the Maytals have been a cornerstone of Jamaican music since the 1960s, known for their unique blend of ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Their distinctive sound is marked by Toots Hibbert's powerful vocals and the band's infectious rhythms, as showcased in notable albums like 'Funky Kingston' and 'Pressure Drop'. With a live reputation for high-energy performances, Toots and the Maytals have been a major draw on the festival circuit and in concert halls worldwide, although they've had periods of hiatus over the years. The band is set to kick off a European tour in May 2026, with confirmed dates including May 7 at Y Plas in Cardiff, May 8 at Trinity in Bristol, and May 9 at Chalk in Brighton.
