The 420 Funk Mob: A Funk-Fueled Jam Band Revolution
Born as the “off-days project” of legendary P-Funk master Mike “Clip” Payne, The 420 Funk Mob has exploded into one of the most electrifying and unpredictable jam bands on the planet. Think Sly Stone colliding with Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead in a euphoric, psychedelic funk-rock showdown. This isn’t just a band—it’s a movement.
The Mob’s live shows are more than concerts; they’re immersive, mind-bending events. From headlining festivals across Europe and the U.S. to tearing up iconic stages like NYC’s Wetlands, LA’s Whisky A Go Go, and the fabled Stone Pony in Asbury Park, the 420 Funk Mob leaves a trail of unforgettable performances wherever they go. ESPN/NFL handpicked them as the first-ever Super Bowl Tailgate Party Band, and they were High Times Magazine’s choice to headline America’s inaugural Cannabis Cup. Wherever the Mob rolls in, they bring the funk, the fire, and the fury.
With a constantly shifting lineup of all-star musicians, every show is its own unrepeatable spectacle. One night, you might get a lean, mean six-piece funk-rock juggernaut; the next, an 18-piece “Funkestra” complete with horns, strings, dual drummers, and a soul-drenched choir. The Mob’s revolving door of musical heavyweights has included current and former members of P-Funk, Prince, David Bowie, Outkast, Bootsy Collins, Bad Brains, and D’Angelo, among others. Special guest appearances by icons like George Clinton, Fred Wesley (The JB’s), and Leo Nocentelli (The Meters) keep fans guessing—and grinning.
Even superstars can’t resist the gravitational pull of the 420 Funk Mob. Legends like P-Funk’s keyboard wizard Bernie Worrell, jazz virtuoso Stanley Jordan, Snarky Puppy’s Zack Brock, and country phenoms Big & Rich have all jumped on stage to bask in the funk-fueled glory.
As Peter Cook of Jambase.com put it, the 420 Funk Mob is “a full-blown return to the Pedro Bell era of Funkadelic glory—a band determined to build on the George Clinton legacy.”
If you’re looking for a show that melts boundaries and blows minds, the 420 Funk Mob is the only ticket you need. Buckle up—it’s going to get loud, wild, and undeniably funky.
