"My favourite song of the last decade" - Iggy Pop
Mik Artistik's Ego Trip delivers a unique blend of northern rock and roll stand-up that defies easy categorization. Fronted by the charismatic Mik Artistik, who hypnotizes audiences with his compelling stare and stream-of-consciousness performance style, the band creates shows where no two nights are ever the same.
Backed by Jonny Flockton's exquisite layers of electric guitar and drum machine, Mik breaks down the wall between performer and audience, creating controlled chaos that has made them Glastonbury favorites since 2007. Their Wednesday afternoon Croissant Neuf Bandstand and Thursday evening Rocket Lounge performances have become festival traditions for many loyal fans.
Expect an evening of stories, songs, poems, and unexpected tangents from a band that's earned an enviable festival reputation. With rock icon Iggy Pop declaring their anthem "Sweet Leaf of the North" his favorite song of the last decade "because it's human, it's real and it has soul," Mik Artistik's Ego Trip proves why they've become BBC 6 Music darlings.
