Widely acclaimed British folk-rock band the Levellers completely rewrote the rulebook on their own terms, proving themselves heroes of the scene for free thinkers, drop-outs, vagabonds, vagrants and dreamers.
Perhaps because the Levellers have always operated outside the flimsy constructs of fashion, perhaps because they have always worn their heart on their sleeves, and perhaps because their songs resound through the decades – or perhaps because they are wrapped up in a very English idealism – they have always defied gravity.
Like all the great bands they sound like the eternal music that comes from the soil of their surroundings. Their music is the true folk that shimmers throughout the centuries and the music from the soil of this land.
The cultural and musical legacy of Levellers runs deep with echoes of their work found in contemporary music, grassroots political movements and the evolution of British festival culture. Platinum selling albums such as Levelling The Land and the UK #1 Zeitgeist set the band on a trajectory of huge success and won them a committed, passionate and loyal fanbase that has endured for almost 40 years.
With their acoustic project Levellers Collective winning them plaudits, and their acclaimed annual festival Beautiful Days celebrating well over two decades of sold-out success, Levellers continue to thrive.
2026 sees the 35th anniversary of Levelling The Land and the band will be heading out on tour this autumn to celebrate with a new run of headline shows.
