BRIT Award-winning band Rudimental are to give a headline DJ-set performance at Haydock Park tonight.
Bursting out of London’s underground music scene with its thrilling world of pirate radio, crude DJ set ups, improvised studios and bleeding edge beats, Rudimental cracked into the mainstream on the release of their double-platinum selling debut album Home in 2013, which has since sold more than one million units worldwide.
Hits from the band’s unrivalled catalogue include the global smash Lay It All On Me featuring Ed Sheeran, Feel The Love with John Newman, Sun Comes Up ft. James Arthur and These Days ft. Jess Glynne, Macklemore and Dan Caplen, which stormed to number one on release and spent a total of 54 weeks in the chart.
Their latest album Ground Control returned the band to their roots with a collection of tracks tapping into everything from anthemic drum & bass to woozy, iced-out house, soulful UKG and huge, festival-worthy club anthems.
Rudimental said: “We’re so excited live music is back, especially as it gives us the opportunity to visit new venues that we haven’t played before. Our fans in the North West are some of our favourite crowds to perform to so we know it’s going to be an incredible night!”
The show, which will take place after the day's racing on Friday, August 5, will add to a bustling summer of musical events set to hit Haydock Park, which has included Paloma Faith and Madness.
