Based in Cornwall but reaching across continents, 3 Daft Monkeys are a genre-defying folk-world four-piece powerhouse. This independent band brings an original and electrifying mix of Eastern and Western influences to their music, crafting a bold, vibrant blend of styles.

The band experiment with modern storytelling in a playful way, creating songs full of emotion and infectious energy.

3 Daft Monkeys have recently released their brand-new album Information Camouflage.

The band funded the album through a huge independent crowdfunding campaign, showing how deeply loved they are by their ever-growing global fan base.

Beloved on the festival scene, they’ve played main stages across Europe including Glastonbury (Avalon and Glade), Lorient Festival Interceltique (FR), Beautiful Days, Sidmouth Folk Festiv
