Maroon Town are one of the most forward thinking and experimental bands the UK scene has produced.  Formed in the 1980's they championed a superb mix of autentic ska, reggae, funk, rap and latin sounds, all under-pinned with a exacting social commentry.  Something they have championed around the world into their fifth decade!   At the festival they will be performing a very special set celebrating the 35th anniversay of their critically acclaimed debut album, which was signed and released by LISF - Sean Flowerdew on his first label and produced by The Specials' John Bradbury.

Hugo Lobo is quitely simply the biggest ska artist in Argentina, beit with his band - Dancin Mood, or solo work.   His love, and playing of, authetic sound and jazz is world reknown and world class and we are honoured that he'll be playing a UK exclusive at LISF2025.

Travelers All Stars are a boss reggae sensation who will be flying in to make the UK debut exclusively at The London Int'l Ska Festival!  They specialise in truly authentic early reggae and rocksteady sounds and are definitely ones not to miss!

DJs for the evening include the some of the finest selectors on the scene today; Alan Handscombe and Ronnie King (who both DJ the first ever London Int'l Ska Festival back in 1988), Ann Vodka (flying in from Netherlands) and Henry Mack.

With more to be announced, get your tickets early for this one.  They are limited to 150 tickets!
