Formed in Brighton in 1988, Levellers broke through worldwide three years later with the album 'Levelling The Land'. Songs like 'One Way', '15 Years', 'Far From Home', 'Liberty Song' or 'Battle Of The Beanfield' redefined the British music landscape in 1991 and laid the foundations for the following three decades. In 2020, the group released a new studio album with 'Peace', which immediately landed at eighth place in the UK Official Album Charts. Two years earlier, they had already come in at 12 with 'We The Collective', a record full of acoustic arrangements of previous hit songs in a production by John Leckie (Radiohead, Stone Roses, Novastar) and recorded with an eight-piece string ensemble at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. Surfing further on the acoustic success of that album, 2023 released a follow-up, 'Together All The Way', and an accompanying acoustic theatre tour in March.

2023 was a special year for Levellers anyway. Not only did they celebrate the joy of being a band for 35 years. The 'Beautiful Days Festival', founded by the band members, also had 20 years on the clock. It grew into one of the biggest independent festivals in the UK.

For the AB concert, the instruments are plugged back in to add power to their well-known folk or indie rock with punk influences. And this under the watchful eye of original members Mark Chadwick (vocals, guitar, banjo), Jeremy Cunningham (bass, bouzouki), Charlie Heather (drums) and John Sevink (fiddle), supplemented by Dan Donnelly (guitar) and Matt Savage (vocals, keyboards).
