Ugly Kid Joe

Ugly Kid Joe crashed into the mainstream in 1991 with the MTV favourite 'Everything About You' lifted from the band's multi-platinum selling debut EP 'Ugly As They Wanna Be'. This was followed up in 1992 with their multi-platinum album 'America's Least Wanted’ yielding subsequent hits 'Cats in The Cradle' and 'Neighbour' cementing the band as a musical force to be reckoned with.

However, it was only after returning in 2012 after a lengthy 15-year hiatus that their true legacy has been cemented on the world's stages. The band's live performances are a celebration of both nostalgia and evolution, resonating with fans old and new. More recent songs such as 'I'm Alright', 'Devils Paradise' and 'That Ain't Livin' now sit shoulder to shoulder as crowd favourites alongside those nostalgic 90's classics. Ugly Kid Joe's ability to bring any crowd together by blending hard hitting musicianship, humour and crowd interaction all channelled through frontman Whitfield Crane's charismatic presence has made them a must-see attraction at festivals around the world including Wacken, Hellfest, Bloodstock, Graspop and Copenhell.

2022 saw the release of the bands most recent album 'Rad Wings of Destiny' which was met with praise from both critics and fans alike. The subsequent world tour finally brought the band back to the US for their first American tour in over 25 years, returning again in 2024 for a month-long Las Vegas residency as special guests to Scorpions.

Their commitment to giving fans an unforgettable concert experience keeps their place in rock's spotlight secure, making them one of the most beloved bands for live music enthusiasts.
