The confirmed acts so far:
Blue
Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe more widely known as Blue have sold 15 million records worldwide. In the UK they've had 3 number 1 albums 10 top 10 singles (including 3 number 1's), won Brit and MTV Asia Awards and sung with Elton John and Stevie Wonder. They formed in London in the year 2000 and had their first hit All Rise in 2001, a track which still sounds amazing today over 20 years later. Their first appearance came on the Big Breakfast, where as an unknown band they were the 'family of the week' appearing on the show from Monday to Friday and then performed on live TV for the first time that Saturday on CDUK. By the time the track entered the top 10 fans were flocking to see them and Blue fever started! Twenty plus years later and the band are still going strong with a 'Greatest Hits' theatre tour in the spring of 2024, plus new music with the first single My City released in May 2024 where a limited run of physical singles sold out in a matter of days.
Gabrielle
From the early '90s to the turn of the millennium, Gabrielle was one of the UK's most successful and beloved artists. With two unforgettable #1 hits ('Dreams' and 'Rise'), numerous Top 10 singles, two 4x Platinum albums, two BRIT Awards, two MOBOs, and an Ivor Novello, she seemed to turn everything she touched to gold. After a quiet period post-2007, Gabrielle enjoyed a remarkable resurgence. Her 2018 album 'Under My Skin' was a Top 10 hit, and she won new fans with her memorable stint on 'The Masked Singer' in 2021. Her 2021 album 'Do It Again' reached #4 on the charts, her highest position in twenty years. Iconic artists like Adele and Stormzy have shown her love, with Adele inviting Gabrielle to perform at her Hyde Park shows in 2022 and Stormzy featuring her in his video for 'Mel Made Me Do It'. Gabrielle released her new album 'A Place In Your Heart' in May, adding more modern soul classics to her incomparable repertoire. Gabrielle continues to captivate audiences with festival performances and her '30 Years of Dreaming' headline tour, which included sold-out shows at the Royal Albert Hall. Gabrielle will embark on her biggest UK tour in 2025, including a performance at The O2 in London. The dream continues...
Shaznay
Shaznay Lewis is an Ivor Novello and Brit Award winning singer songwriter from London and is best known as being part of multi-million selling girl band 'All Saints'. Shaznay was the key songwriter of the band, penning their iconic discography including number one singles 'Bootie Call', 'Pure Shores' and international hit single 'Never Ever'. In 2004, Shaznay released her debut album 'Open' which saw her collaborate with Basement Jaxx, Rick Nowels and K-Gee, and garnered huge critically acclaimed success. Between 2014 and 2021, All Saints reunited and it saw Shaznay reconnect with William Orbit (Pure Shores) on two new top 10 albums, 'Red Flag' and 'Testament'.
