Bonobo plays The Troxy this weekend

It’s been a great year for Simon Green, whose 4th album as Bonobo was released in March to critical acclaim. The Ninja Tune stalwart is something of a favourite here, with Black Sands being a permanent fixture in and around the Crossfire stereo.

As way of celebration of this fact, Green will play a rather special show this Saturday (11th) at The Troxy in London. The 2,600+ venue should make the perfect setting for Bonobo, following on from his sold out show at The Roundhouse with another suitably beautiful gig venue. UK shows could be sparse for Bonobo with Green’s recent re-location stateside, so this is one not to be missed.
