The Wanton Bishops Announce Homecoming Show in KED Beirut April 30th

Following years away on a wild European tour, Lebanese blues-rock rousers The Wanton Bishops are finally coming back home to perform live at KED Beirut this Wednesday, April 30th.

Since their early beginnings in 2011, The Wanton Bishops have been driven by the revolutionary vision of Beirut-native multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Nader Mansour. Their debut album ‘Sleep With The Lights On’ was released in 2012, a delta blues record inspired by the likes of RL Burnside and Muddy Waters, with the single sharing the same album’s name garnering over six million streams on Spotify.

The last record they released was in 2023, titled ‘Under the Sun’, a love letter to Beirut, packed with intention-filled electronica and obstinate lyricism, firmly holds down the belief that Lebanon will stand on its feet, returning to its golden days powered exclusively by its people’s love. 

The show will feature two supporting acts, the Lebanese shoegaze outfit Bliss, along with a DJ set by Phil Vader. Doors open at 9 PM. To book your tickets, you can head to the link in @kedbeirut’s Instagram bio.
