Kool And The Gang announce one-night-only performance in the UK; where are they playing + ticketing info

Having already been confirmed as performers at this year’s Love Supreme festival in Lewes, Kool And The Gang have announced a one-off headline show in the United Kingdom, with special guests The Real Thing coming along as support.

The group, formed in 1964 by brothers Robert "Kool" Bell and Ronald Bell, along with their friends Dennis "Dee Tee" Thomas, Robert "Spike" Mickens, Charles Smith, George Brown, and Ricky West, began as a jazz ensemble in the mid-1960s, and over the years, evolved their musical style to include R&B, funk, and pop, ultimately becoming one of the most popular and influential soul-funk bands of the 1970s and 1980s. 

Their music includes hits like "Celebration," "Cherish," "Jungle Boogie," and "Ladies' Night," which have become enduring staples on dance floors worldwide and have featured on countless movie soundtracks, with “Jungle Boogie” in particular an earworm that appeared in Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 masterpiece, “Pulp Fiction.”
