Jungle Becomes Trio with Lydia Kitto, Announces German Tour Dates

The British musical act Jungle has officially expanded from a duo to a trio, welcoming longtime live collaborator Lydia Kitto as a full band member. The group, originally formed over a decade ago by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland under the cryptic initials 'J' and 'T', has seen significant success since their debut. Their third album, released in 2021, reached the top 3 of the UK album charts, and their subsequent album 'Volcano' featured the single 'Back on 74', which achieved platinum status in both the UK and the US and earned the band their first Brit Award. Jungle's latest album, 'Sunshine', marks Kitto's official integration into the band, though they remain committed to their signature retro sound. The trio's exceptional chemistry promises a unique concert experience, with their high-energy performances described as a party. Their upcoming tour will bring them to Germany for three concerts in November. The news was reported by Finn Kollmeier on kulturnews.de, alongside other music stories including the death of Dolly Parton and interviews with Arab Strap and LA Priest.
