Jungle

Jungle brings its London-born modern soul to 3Arena in Dublin on 18 November 2026. Built around lifelong friends Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland, the project started in the early 2010s as a studio venture before expanding on stage into a fuller live ensemble. Their sound leans on supple basslines, tight percussion and falsetto-led vocals, folding funk, disco, light psychedelia and electronic production into sleek, melodic pop-soul.

Across their albums Jungle (2014), For Ever (2018), Loving in Stereo (2021) and Volcano (2023), the duo sharpened a more direct, hook-friendly writing style while keeping those circular grooves and stacked choral parts that define their identity. The visual dimension is key too, with choreography and imagery closely tied to the music. Live, the collective stretches the studio detail into a fluid, danceable set, giving space to layered harmonies, percussive breaks and warm analog textures. A show shaped for a big room, carried by rhythm and voices, and rooted in that open, crossover spirit of the London scene.
