Hozier

Born on St. Patrick's Day and hailing from County Wicklow, Hozier was raised on the building blocks of popular music: rhythm and blues, soul, jazz and the deep dark stuff stretching from Chicago to the Delta. He first rose to prominence following the release of his globally successful, triple platinum single Take Me To Church, the video for which has been viewed over 250 million times on YouTube. The track was nominated for ‘Song Of The Year’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards, won ‘Song Of The Year’ at the 2015 Ivor Novello Awards, won ‘Song Of The Year’ at the 2015 BBC Music Awards and won ‘Top Rock Song’ at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, where Hozier also won ‘Top Rock Artist’. Take Me To Church has sold 2.23 million copies in the UK to date. Hozier also saw great success with Someone New, which went gold and Cherry Wine and From Eden both being certified silver.

Chappell Roan

In the last few years, Chappell Roan was signed to and subsequently dropped by a major label, meeting her creative collaborator Dan Nigro (Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray) along the way. Over the past year she has built an unapologetically honest world and released several singles independently, creating a core, cult-like fanbase.

Bring Me The Horizon

Bring Me The Horizon hurtled from Sheffield with a brand of metal and hardcore music that’s been evolving ever since. From humble beginnings, picking up Kerrang!’s Best newcomer award in 2006, they’ve matured and risen through the ranks of British rock music winning various prestigious awards along the way. The style of their early work has been described as deathcore, but the band started to adopt a more eclectic style of metalcore on subsequent albums. Their 2015 album, 'That's The Spirit', marked a shift in their sound to less aggressive rock music styles, including electronic rock and nu metal. This was a conscious decision made by the band in a bid to change their direction and appeal.

Travis Scott

Like the wildest rollercoaster imaginable, Missouri City, Texas-born and Los Angeles-based multiplatinum iconoclast Travis Scott flips popular music, culture, and fashion upside down. Bathed in bright lights, scents of carnival pleasures, and the climactic screams of millions worldwide, his third full-length album, ASTROWORLD [Cactus Jack Records/Epic Records], opened as the undisputed, undeniable, and ultimate musical attraction of 2018 catapulting it to #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Acclaimed by Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, and more and gracing the cover of GQ, this takeover paved the way for his second MTV VMA performance, ASTROWORLD Festival in Houston, and a gargantuan arena tour in 2019. The Houston rapper’s live shows have become the stuff of a legend with Billboard writing, 'Travis Scott’s penchant for raging, off-the-wall live shows have become an essential part of his career'.

Bloc Party

Reared on a diet of pop culture and good music, Bloc Party met through the small ads of the music press to create a band who went on to make the headlines. After a short hiatus in 2013, Kele Okereke returned refreshed in 2015 with a new line-up: original guitarist Russell Lissack joined by new recruits Justin Harris (bass) and Louise Bartle (drums) Ask them their influences, and they say they've been influenced by it all. Live, Bloc Party '...rip through new classics...like they've written them 20 minutes before the gig - the ferocity and adrenaline of youth shines through the angular rhythms and layers of effects.' (bbc.co.uk). They also play regular DJ slots up and down the country.

His Trinidadian father had a brief career as a rapper, while his mother used to be a pirate radio DJ. AJ’s addictive sound combines the rapid-fire wordplay of grime with an array of international rap influences in unprecedented ways, building a dedicated worldwide fanbase that includes Stormzy, Drake and even Thirty Seconds To Mars.
