Big Band of Boom - Hare & Hounds Birmingham

Big Band of Boom - Birmingham's rock juggernaut; This 12-piece behemoth is set to redefine everything you know about heavy guitars and big-band brass! Imagine the Kill Bill soundtrack played by Rage Against the Machine with an orchestra…sonically expansive, cinematic, and uncompromising.

Known for an electrifying live-show, BBOB have already graced some of the most prestigious festival stages across the UK and Europe including Boomtown, Northside, Rudolstadt and Camp Bestival as well as hosting and programming their own stage at Shambala Festival.

Their Debut album released March 2026 and has already received BBC Radio 6 airplay after Craig Charles spotted the band at Moseley Jazz Festival and left him feeling “really really impressed”. Singles Energy Vampire, Earthquake and Stupid Filthy Rich encapsulate the energy that the Big Band of Boom bring to the live stage

Performing in their home town of Birmingham for the first time at the Hare & Hounds, this promises to be an incredible show!

12 musicians including a 6 piece horns section - Big Band of Boom bring the noise!
