Rag’n’Bone Man – aka Rory Graham – rose to prominence in 2016 with the release of the worldwide smash hit Human which showcased a stunning blend of traditional blues, hip-hop and, of course, an incredible and era-defining voice.
Having won the 2017 BRIT’s British Breakthrough Act and receiving the BRIT’s Critics’ Choice Award in the same year, Rag’n’Bone Man cemented his success with the record-breaking release of his four-time platinum Number One debut album Human. A plethora of international accolades followed as well as a further BRIT Award for Best Single of the Year in 2018 for Human.
Life by Misadventure, Graham’s second Number One album with Columbia Records spent seven weeks in the Top 10, and included singles such as All You Ever Wanted, Anywhere Away From Here, Alone and Crossfire.
His latest release, incredible, uplifting third studio album What Do You Believe In? speaks to Rag’n’Bone Man’s roots, heavily dipped in hip hop, soul and blues influences – a musical experience fans can expect to be thrilled by. The album features an abundance of powerful tracks, each resonating with Rag’n’Bone Man’s signature deep, soulful voice and heartfelt lyrics.
Elles Bailey joins Rag’n’Bone Man, sharing her award-winning smokey blues sound, which has seen her named Vocalist Of The Year at the UK Blues Awards and Live Act Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards two years running. Her fourth studio album Beneath The Neon Glow hit number 12 in the UK Album Charts and number 1 in the UK blues charts.
Almost 30 years on from the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Reverence, Faithless have established themselves as one of the most influential electronic acts of the 21st century.
Faithless have sold more than 20 million albums, including 17 Top 40 singles, six Top 10 albums (three at Number One), and amassing more than a billion combined streams to date.
Their UK Top 10 singles include such anthems as Salva Mea, We Come 1, One Step Too Far, Mass Destruction, Insomnia and God Is A DJ.
Best known for singles Saltwater and Don’t Give Up (featuring vocals by Bryan Adams), Chicane established himself on the UK trance scene with debut single Offshore, securing his sound as the aural backdrop to Ibizan sunsets – and sunrises, over the course of nine studio albums.
Kosheen, one of the UK’s booming live electronic music showstoppers, broke into prominence with their hit Hide U off their debut album in 2001, the platinum selling Resist, followed by crossover hits Catch, Hungry and All In My Head.
