Maribou State

Maribou State are Chris Davids and Liam Ivory, the UK duo giving electronic music a much-needed shot of soul. Since 2011, they’ve established themselves as major players on the global dance music circuit, melding a genre-fluid range of influences into a distinctly organic sound, redefining downtempo electronica for a new generation. They’ve become a hugely acclaimed live act who’ve performed roadblock shows from Glastonbury to the Sydney Opera House, as well as back-to-back sold-out UK, EU and North American tours. Over three albums – their 2015 debut, Portraits, 2018’s Kingdom of Colour and upcoming third album, Hallucinating Love – Maribou State have honed a delicate balance of intricacy, intimacy and electronic expansiveness. Their vast sonic universe pulls on UK club music, vintage soul and evocative samples to create something completely unique. On Sunday 24 August 2025, Maribou State play at the iconic outdoor venue at historic amusement park Dreamland Margate with sets from Mount Kimbie and George Fitzgerald (DJ).
