A ferociously honest, bass-heavy electronic trio channeling punk poetics with Northern grit.
If you'd like to be the first to know when new events are announced, you can follow POLITE BUREAUX below.
Polite Bureaux emerged from Bradford, UK, with front-man Joe Smith crafting a sound that fuses broken-beat electronics, jagged basslines and spoken-word fire. His siblings-in-arms Maya Lili and Viv Maher bring live-wire energy on stage, turning each gig into an urgent, immersive experience. Their lyrics, often drawn from working-class life and set against thunderous beats, echo the sharp commentary of John Cooper Clarke. Their recent albums CUNT MONDAY and EXCEPT YOUR SKiNT tackle austerity, roots and resilience.
Known for high-octane live shows across the UK, Polite Bureaux have earned airplay on BBC Introducing and shared stages with acts such as Benefits. Through all the noise and ferocity, they remain down-to-earth, speaking for the everyday and the overlooked with passion and purpose.
Ticket prices may vary depending on venue and location. Full pricing details are available on each individual event page.
