The History of Jungle brings its UK tour to Depot this September, with a lineup drawn from the defining era of UK jungle.
Ten DJs. Eight MCs. One sound system built to carry the music properly.
Cardiff has its own deep relationship with this music. From early sound system culture in Butetown through to the rise of jungle and drum and bass, the city built its scene through community, independent spaces and a DIY spirit that sits at the very heart of what jungle is. This is a natural home for an event like this.

For over a decade, Charlotte Church’s Late Night Pop Dungeon has been one of the most fiercely original live experiences in Britain. Part euphoric rave, part sacred ceremony, part total Dadaist carnage, it has become the stuff of festival legend. Now it returns, reborn and recharged, for one final chapter.
End Times Pop Dungeon: The Evolution Will Not Be Televised.
This is the Pop Dungeon at its most apocalyptic. Riffs that could level a city. Voices that belong somewhere celestial. And Charlotte Fucking Church leading the whole beautiful chaos from the front. Their collage-as-concert has always moved people somewhere else entirely, and this tour is no different. It is a transportation. It is a transformation.
And it’s coming to Depot.➡️ Pre-Sale: 10am, Thursday, 18th June
➡️ General Sale: 10am, Friday 19th JuneGrammy-nominated metalcore heavyweights I Prevail bring The Violent Nature Tour to DEPOT Cardiff this September, following phenomenal demand across the UK. This extra Cardiff date promises an intense, full-throttle night as the band showcase tracks from their explosive new album Violent Nature alongside fan favourites from Lifelines, TRAUMA and TRUE POWER.
Formed in Metro Detroit in 2013, I Prevail have grown from underground hopefuls to one of modern heavy music’s most powerful live acts, earning gold-certified records on both sides of the Atlantic and a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album along the way. Violent Nature pushes them even further, channelling personal conflict and raw emotion into some of their heaviest, most cathartic songs to date – from the ferocious title track to the huge, melodic hooks of “Rain”.
Joining them in Cardiff are special guests Polaris, and Gore. setting the tone with a stacked bill of crushing riffs, soaring choruses and big, emotional singalongs from start to finish.
Expect a high-energy, no-compromise show from a band entering a new era – louder, darker and more ambitious than ever.
