CAPTAIN ACCIDENT creates his unique blend of rock-driven roots reggae, ska and rocksteady at his studio in Cardiff, a sound that is then transformed to the live stage with the help of five exceptional musicians. Through numerous festival appearances which include Glastonbury, Bestival, Wilderness, Boomtown and Secret Garden Party, and extensive touring of the UK and Europe, their live show has become one of the most infectious and thrill-inducing on the circuit.The band were handpicked by the legendary Toots & The Maytals to support on a run of UK dates in 2016 and impressed the reggae masters to such an extent that they were invited to perform as full tour support in 2017 and 2018, playing such prestigious venues as London Barbican Theatre, Brighton Dome and Manchester Academy. They were then asked to support on the full Toots & The Maytals European tour in 2020 but, naturally, this was initially postponed due to Covid-19 and subsequently cancelled following the death of Toots Hibbert.
CAPTAIN ACCIDENT has also shared stages with many of the most recognisable names in reggae and ska including Suggs, who has been known to invite himself onstage in order to sing with the band, Alborosie, Neville Staple, The Skints, Less Than Jake, The Toasters, Aswad, The Skatalites and Fishbone.
