The legendary Misty In Roots return to Brighton to celebrate their 50th anniversary.
Misty In Roots originally formed in 1975 to back Trojan Records star - Nicky Thomas (famed for his Love of The Common People Top 10 single). It wasn’t long however that Misty In Roots started to develop their iconic roots reggae sound and come 1979, the band released their debut album - Live at the Counter Eurovision, which is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest live albums recorded. A staggering 9 John Peel BBC Radio One sessions, 4 studio albums and international touring followed, truly establishing Misty In Roots as one of the worlds leading reggae bands. Their popularity was further broadened by their involvement in the Rock Against Racism movement, where they regularly gigged alongside the likes of; Elvis Costello, The Specials, Tom Robinson, The Ruts (who’s debut single Misty funded), Steep Pulse, and The Aupairs.
2025 celebrates 50 years of Misty In Roots with select shows and the reissue of their much sought after back catalogue, starting with their classic debut album this winter.
