Cambridge, MA – October 3, 2025 – Get ready to be funked up as 420 Funk Mob, the electrifying ensemble led by Parliament-Funkadelic's own Mike "Clip" Payne, brings their unforgettable live experience to the Middle East in Cambridge on Friday, October 3, 2025. This collective takes the foundation of funk-rock and elevates it to new heights, delivering shows that are as unpredictable as they are exhilarating.With a revolving lineup of funk-rock luminaries including Mike Clip Payne, Kidd Funkadelic (Mike Hampton), Lige Curry, Gregg Thomas, Gregg Boyer (PFunk, Prince), Daffy Fitz (Bootsy Collins), and others, 420 Funk Mob ensures a dynamic and powerful performance every time. Their formats are as diverse as their talent, ranging from a tight six-piece band to a full-blown "Funkestra" featuring horns, strings, multiple drummers, and a choir.
Praised by Jambase.com as "a full-blown return to the Pedro Bell era of Funkadelic glory," 420 Funk Mob is not just recreating history; they're pushing the boundaries of the genre. Glide Magazine lauded their album The Emperor Has No Clones for "ushering in the next era of Funk." Recent live coverage noted the band "smashes the space time continuum with a raw, dirty, psychedelic funk assault, born from the Pfunk mothership."
420 Funk Mob's impressive resume includes headlining the High Times Cannabis Cup, performing at Woodstock's 50th Anniversary, and being the inaugural band for ESPN/NFL's Super Bowl Tailgate Party.
