Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers: In Time 30th Anniversary Tour

Join the celebration of Mugenkyo's landmark 30th anniversary, with a very special show of big beats, visual treats and vital energy.

Taking the audience on a journey in time, a thrilling ride through their 30 years, the concert is a full theatrical experience, with dynamic choreography and heart-pounding rhythms contrasting with atmospheric soundscapes.

As Europe's longest-established taiko group, Mugenkyo are widely recognised as the ground-breaking pioneers of this exciting art-form, thrilling audiences at thousands of performances worldwide, now returning with their first new show in five years.

In the few years leading up to now, Mugenkyo have been busy on projects such as collaborating on the ambitious World of Gods with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, filming for the Hollywood film Tin Soldier in Greece with Jamie Foxx and Robert DeNiro, a two-week run at the World Expo in Dubai, the BBC TV Tokyo Olympics, a 26-date run at the Adelaide Fringe, the Fire & Light site-specific project, regular online workshops and performances, along with rebuilding their purpose-built residential centre for Taiko.

They now return to the road with an electrifying and uplifting performance of skill, stamina and soul, just in time for this special birthday bash.
