On behalf of the event organisers we wish to advise the CHANNEL ONE (UK) show on Sunday 8 March 2026 has been relocated to The Rechabite, located at 224 William Street, Northbridge WA 6003.

Your current tickets are automatically valid for the new venue.

A message from the event organisers:

Channel One (UK) meets Freo Dub Club / WA’s first Sound System Gathering
Sunday March 8

Due to recent changes to noise regulations at Freo.Social, the venue is no longer permitted to host external sound systems.

As sound system culture sits at the heart of this event, compromising on that was never an option. Our rigs are not decoration - they are the foundation of the experience.

We’re pleased to confirm that the event will now take place at:

The Rechabite Hall, Northbridge

The date, line-up, and format remain unchanged.
All tickets remain fully valid.

This move ensures that Channel One (UK) can perform properly on Red Earth & KBI Sound Systems, giving WA’s first-ever Sound System Gathering the scale, weight, and respect it deserves.

We truly appreciate your support and understanding.
We can’t wait to welcome you on March 8 for what promises to be a historic night for sound system culture in WA.

See you in the dance.

CHANNEL ONE (UK)

Mikey Dread & MC Ras Sherby

Formed in London in 1979, Channel One is one of the most respected and enduring names in global reggae and sound system culture. Founded by brothers Mikey Dread and Jah T, Channel One took its name from Jamaica’s legendary Channel One Studio, grounding their selections in roots, resistance, and Rastafari consciousness.

From early blues dances to becoming a cornerstone of Notting Hill Carnival since 1983, Channel One has spent over four decades shaping sound system culture worldwide. Their sessions are known for conscious reggae selections, exclusive dubplates, and uplifting steppas, delivered with authority and deep cultural intent.

Channel One’s mission remains clear:
“To break down barriers through reggae music.”

Their journey includes Red Bull Culture Clash champions (2010), performances at Wembley Arena, Glastonbury & Boomtown Festival, long-standing London residencies, Arts Council–backed tours, and global reach through Worldwide FM. For this historic WA debut, Mikey Dread and MC Ras Sherby bring authentic Channel One energy to the mic.

KBI SOUND SYSTEM (WA)

Founded in Leicester, UK in 2002 by brothers Prez-I and Tubby MC, KBI Sound System is rooted in Love, Peace & Unity, values drawn from their African heritage and lifelong connection to music and community.

Inspired by Jah Shaka, Aba Shanti I, and Channel One, and dub pioneers Lee “Scratch” Perry and King Tubby, KBI built their sound from scratch. In 2012, they shipped their custom-built UK sound system to Western Australia, where they continue to unite communities through roots, bass, and truth.

RED EARTH SOUND SYSTEM (WA)

Event Hosts

Red Earth Sound System is Western Australia’s first homegrown custom reggae & dub sound system. As hosts, Red Earth represents both the roots and future of WA sound system culture — locally grounded, globally connected, and community driven.

WA’S FIRST SOUND SYSTEM GATHERING

For the first time in WA’s history, Red Earth Sound System and KBI Sound System meet in the same room — not as a clash, but as a gathering. A shared session honouring the original spirit of sound system culture.

ONE NIGHT. ONE ROOM.
