Joe Yorke

On 17 and 18 December 2026 at La Maroquinerie in Paris, Joe Yorke returns with his crew for two nights that will herald the release of his next album. A year after a sold-out show in the same venue, the British singer continues his path between reggae, soul and touches of new wave, propelled by a clean falsetto and arrangements tailored for the stage.

Born in the north-west of England, having come up through Manchester’s sound systems before settling in Bristol, Joe Yorke has forged his identity on rocksteady and dub foundations, open to soul and more modern textures. He has appeared with Stand High Patrol and L’Entourloop, and was heard on a widely shared cover of “Smalltown Boy.” His album Hopeless, released at the end of 2023, confirmed a more soulful streak, while his collaborations with The Co-Operators and his label Rhythm Steady sustain work rooted in sound system culture. On stage, Yorke layers stepper rhythms, dub echoes and a clear voice, moving between recent tracks and unreleased material from the upcoming record.
