Ugly Kid Joe

Ugly Kid Joe crashed into the mainstream in 1991 with the MTV favorite 'Everything About You' lifted from the bands multiplatinum selling debut EP 'Ugly As They Wanna Be'. This was followed up in 1992 with their multiplatinum album 'Americas Least Wanted’ yielding subsequent hits 'Cats in The Cradle' and 'Neighbor' 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 worlds 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 channeled 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' and the subsequent world tour finally brought the band back to the US in 2023 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. The band are on tour in the USA this August and September 2026!
