It's been a long time since fans were graced with new music from Clean Bandit. The trio, made up of Grace Chatto and brothers Jack Patterson and Luke Patterson, are known for their hits such as 'Rather Be' with Jess Glynne, 'Solo', 'Symphony' with Zara Larsson and 'Rockabye' with Anne-Marie and Sean Paul.

Now, several years after the last released a Top 10 hit, the band have announced the 'clean bandit drought is over', in an Instagram post, where they started to tease new music.

Sharing a pic of cellist Grace, wearing a unique top inspired by fire, the band wrote: 'New songs ready now. I can happily say the clean bandit drought is over 😋'.

Attracting thousands of likes and hundreds of comments, fans of the trio such as Zara Larsson and Becky Hill have left comments. Zara simply commented with an emoji: '😍', whle Becky wrote: 'ehhhhh this pic 😍😍😍😍😍'. (sic)

The band have yet to confirm whether they will be announcing a new single, or album, but fans are super excited for new music, with another fan writing: 'I’m ready!!!', while one more commented: 'We are ready baby 👏❤️🔥'.

Clean Bandit's last Top 10 hit was back in 2020, when they released 'Tick Tock' with Mabel featuring 24kGoldn, while the band also released 'Drive' with Topic featuring Wes Nelson in 2021, which reached Number 17 in the UK.
