Event information
Queen Colobus’ "boundless creativity" (CLASH) weaves a sound that is both soothing and head-banging in equal measure. Their devastatingly honest lyrics and rage-filled riffs fuel their more-ish songs.
Led by Welsh saxophonist and vocalist Beth Hopkins, the band features Morgan Rickman (guitar), Will Heaton (bass), and Adam Skinner (drums). Queen Colobus’ intricate musicianship and tight-knit friendship empower their joyful and cathartic shows, selling out prestigious venues including Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room and gaining support from industry tastemakers such as BBC 6Music and CLASH.
A third EP is incoming, heavily inspired by band favourites The Smile, Big Thief and Hiatus Kaiyote, and is set to be an unmissable release of 2025.
“Queen Colobus *owning* it, truly dazzling… ” Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC6 Music
“Extraordinary sound” Robert Elms, BBC Radio London
