The Undercover Hippy - The Last Stand: UK Tour 2025
Taking a Stand for a World Gone Sideways
As the planet hurtles toward what feels like a never-ending season finale—chaos climate crisis and a world leader or two you wouldn’t trust with a toaster—The Undercover Hippy are stepping up to do what they do best: make sense of the madness one song at a time.
Based in Bristol and fronted by singer-songwriter Billy Rowan The Undercover Hippy blend conscious lyrics with infectious grooves that hit harder than a tabloid headline. Their music fuses elements of reggae hip-hop and ska serving up sharp social commentary wrapped in warm danceable beats. Think The Specials meets Eminem with a healthy dose of satire.
But don’t let their easygoing sound fool you. The lyrics are sharp addressing everything from corrupt politicians and corporate greed to the importance of compassion and unity in a fractured world. It’s this balance of humour and hard-hitting honesty that has won the band a dedicated fanbase across the UK and beyond.
The Live Experience
If you’ve never seen The Undercover Hippy live imagine a party where you dance till your legs ache laugh till your cheeks hurt and leave feeling like you’ve just been hugged by 300 strangers who all believe in a better tomorrow. Packed with energy crowd interaction and an ever-so-slightly anarchic spirit their shows are a communal experience—a space to let loose think critically and maybe even shout a little louder than usual.
The Mission
With their latest tour the band are tackling the chaos head-on. This isn’t just about the music; it’s about making a stand. As the shadow of fascism looms large and the spectre of nuclear armageddon creeps ever closer The Undercover Hippy are doing what they can to flip the upside-down world back the right way up. Armed with wit rhythm and a sprinkling of hope they’re leading the charge for change. It might just be music but sometimes music is all you need to spark a revolution.
Join them on their mission to laugh in the face of disaster dance through the doom and remember that the fight’s not over until the last bassline drops.
Because if the world’s going to end we might as well have a good time trying to save it.
