The Undercover Hippy stops by Burdall's Yard, Bath on Wednesday 22nd April as part of their upcoming spring 2026 UK tour.
As the world hurtles ever deeper into its final post truth, ai-generated death spiral…As the social feeds upon which we suckle become clagged with the sour taste of AI slop… As the digital realm turns cannibal and eats itself to death… perhaps it’s time for a bit of real life?
This April, The Undercover Hippy will embark upon their UK “Real Life Tour”, slogging their actual physical bodies and instruments around the country in a van and pouring their hearts and souls out to other actual physical human beings around the country. So sack off your digital identity, if just for one night, and come and get sweaty with one of the most delicious crowds you will ever encounter.
If you’ve not been to an Undercover Hippy gig before, you are in for a treat. By the encore you will be exalted and exhausted; entertained and educated; energised and inspired. The music combines meaningful lyrics with upbeat, bass soaked, reggae and hip-hop infused rhythms, bringing like minded people together to both acknowledge the darkness and celebrate life.
But don’t take our word for it:
Live Review - “I don’t think there’s anything quite like The Undercover Hippy... It’s truly unique, fun, and powerful, with darkly satirical lyrics in equal amounts set to a reggae beat that’s simply infectious… this has been one of the THE most enjoyable shows I’ve been to in years” - https://www.leftlion.co.uk/read/2023/april/gig-review-the-undercover-hippy-at-the-bodega

The Undercover Hippy, fronted by singer-songwriter Billy Rowan, is a Bristol-based artist whose music fuses politically driven acoustic roots reggae folk-hop with elements of drum and bass, hip-hop, and soulful vocals. His sound is known for intelligent, provocative lyrics, infectious rhythms, and a humorous, feel-good groove, often drawing comparisons to artists like Steel Pulse, Kate Tempest, and The Sleaford Mods. The band has been a regular at festivals such as Glastonbury and Boomtown since 2008 and undertakes extensive tours across the UK and Europe. In April 2023, The Undercover Hippy released their fourth album, "Not Paying Attention," which was also referred to as "Poor Little England," featuring the single "Hey Boy" from February 2023. This album delves into themes of phone dependency, mental health, and the societal impact of the pandemic and politics. The artist is currently undertaking "The Last Stand: UK Tour 2025," aimed at addressing contemporary global challenges through their music, and performed at Boomtown 2025. They also have upcoming tour dates in October 2025 in the UK.
Address: 7A Anglo Terrace Bath, BA1 5NH Bath, United Kingdom
