Alabama 3

Having last visited the venue in February of 2012, Alabama 3 will make a welcome return to The Mandela Hall this summer.

2012 was a busy year for the band, beginning with their first ever visit to New Zealand and a much lauded return trip to Australia, they ended the year with their acclaimed Art of Theft Tour, which saw the band giving their all during a non stop 18 date tour of the UK.

After the shortest of breaks to regroup and draw breath, the band are back in the studio working on material for their next album. The Reverend D Wayne Love, the band’s iconic rapper and spiritual leader, has let it be known that at the moment they are revisiting and reimagining their roots in techno music.

Much as they love being locked down in the studio creating new sounds, Alabama 3 live and breath for gigging and can’t wait to get back out there for a string of new dates that will see the band return to Belfast on the 26th of June.
