Few have wielded the guitar with such mastery and majesty” - The New York Times GRAMMY-nominated guitar virtuoso Bombino returns to London for a ground-shaking headline show at Islington Assembly Hall! Hailed as the "Sultan of Shred," Bombino blends traditional Saharan rhythms with rock, blues, and reggae, crafting hypnotic, high-energy performances that transport audiences straight to the heart of the desert. His virtuosic guitar work, soulful vocals, and driving grooves have earned him comparisons to legends like Jimi Hendrix and Ali Farka Touré. After last year’s sold-out performance at EartH Theatre, it’s clear London’s love for Bombino’s particular blend of desert blues runs deep. Earth Cruises donates 10% of profit from all shows to carefully selected causes. This year, Earth Cruises’ charity of choice is Hackney Migrant Centre who provide support for refugees, asylum seekers and other migrants in need through the provision of free advice on immigration, welfare and health.
