They have seen the likes of Blair, Bush Sr. and Jr. rule the world and they´ve also seen the European Union form and take place as well as the latest turmoil and uncertainty of UK´s Brexit. In 1994 they played in front of 300.000 at the Glastonbury Festival. MI6 have investigated them too. They formed back in 1988 and as we speak the band has moved into their 31st year of existence. Let´s see what they had to say about the past, present and the future.                       The Levellers - Live at Nalen in Stockholm back in 2018.

More importantly we’ve been writing/recording a new Levs album. That’ll be out next year, in time
