Jungle

On 31 October 2026, Jungle play at Forest National. The London collective around childhood friends Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland grew in the early 2010s from a studio experiment into a live outfit with multiple musicians. Their signature: contemporary soul rooted in funk and disco, with supple basslines, tight grooves and voices that often sing in falsetto.

On stage, that approach translates into tracks that roll and keep building, stacked backing vocals and percussion that preserves the danceable pulse. Jungle plays compactly and melodically but leaves room for layers: synths, guitars and rhythms that push against one another without overloading. The aesthetic that defines their videos finds a more sober counterpart live: a focus on groove and movement.

The set outlines the group's trajectory, from the self-titled 2014 debut via For Ever and Loving in Stereo to Volcano (2023). Between present-day soul, British white funk and danceable pop, Jungle nudges the boundary between vintage legacy and contemporary production, with songs conceived both for listening and for performance. At Forest National this comes together in a set that moves in one continuous flow.
