On Saturday 9 May, Joshua Idehen performs at Babylon. The British-born spoken word artist and performer merges jazz, electronic music, poetry and rhythmic vocal delivery into a style that transcends conventional genre boundaries. His work is as much about storytelling and language as it is about sound, promising a distinctive night of emotive performance and sonic exploration. Tickets are available via Biletix.
Joshua Idehen first emerged on the UK alternative scene with spoken word pieces woven through experimental electronic and jazz contexts. His collaborations with forward-thinking acts such as The Comet Is Coming and Sons of Kemet helped bring his rhythmic, poetic voice to wider audiences, while his own projects with producer Ludvig Parment mix layered beats with incisive, introspective verse.
On stage, Idehen’s performances balance lyricism with musical texture, drawing listeners into a space where poetry and rhythm interact. Rather than purely instrumental or spoken sets, his shows unfold like live compositions, shaped by mood and momentum as much as by narrative voice.
To stay up to date, keep up with Babylon. Tickets are available via Biletix.
