Expect high-energy choreography, post-apocalyptic imagery and – above all – the thunderous sound of dozens of huge drums from this visit by Mugenkyo Taiko Drummers.

Since 1994, the group has performed over 1,000 times across Europe, including at the likes of Glastonbury, leaving audiences breathless with their perfect synchronisation on Japanese percussion instruments, which can traditionally take several years to make.
