Dub Pistols have today confirmed they will perform live in Strasbourg, France on June 11th @ Centre autonome jeune as part of the Contre temps festival.

This is one of only a few shows the band are gonna play this year in France and will be showcasing some new tracks from their forthcoming 5th Studio album “Music is my M16” due out later this year.

 The highlight of last years festival season for the Dub Pistols has to be our storming set in the Dance Village @ Glastonbury, The Pistols rocked to a packed Marquee and had the whole place bouncing Barry was then asked by Neville Staples (The Specials) to get back on stage for Neville’s encore and sing “Gangsters” with him, which Barry now puts up there as one of the highlights of his career.

The Dub Pistols are delighted that the DP Soundsytem has been invited back to play a set @ 20:30pm on the Cube Stage on Saturday 25th June, we look forward to seeing you all again bouncing down the front.
