Who's ready to get their dancing shoes on with Ezra Collective this July 💃
One of the hottest live acts in the UK, Ezra Collective’s Where I'm Meant To Be was the first jazz album to win the coveted Mercury Prize in the award’s 31-year history. Their historic 2023 win wasn’t their only notable award last year, as the collective were also crowned Best Jazz Act at the MOBO Awards as well as being named Time Out’s Londoners of 2023.
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, the quintet’s third album, the recently released Dance, No One’s Watching, is an ode to the sacred yet joyous act of dancing. Written throughout 2023 as Eza Collective toured the world, the LP documents the dance floors they encountered, earning the band their first UK Top 10 album.
Continuing to break down barriers, this year will also see the collective become the first-ever UK jazz act to headline London’s Wembley Arena.

With critical acclaim from The Guardian, The Observer, Uncut, Mojo and more. Today Leftfield is one of the UK’s most revered dance acts, with their signature feeling of communal belonging and legendary live performances.

YUSSEF DAYES WINS IVORE PRIZE FOR BEST ALBUM
Congratulations to Yussef Dayes on winning the Ivor Prize for Best Album 🤟
2024 has been an incredible year so far for Yussef Dayes, propelling the versatile, multi-instrumentalist, drummer and composer further into the spotlight off the back of his debut solo studio album ‘Black Classical Music’, with collaborations like Masego, Chronixx, Jamiliah Barry, Tom Misch and more. The record was #1 best seller on Bandcamp, described as a 'Masterful set' by The Guardian, with Dayes nominated for not one, but TWO Brit Awards this year and winning the Ivor Prize for Best Album.
We have seen Dayes go from strength to strength; selling out the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London during the sold-out UK, US, Australia & Latin American tours, releasing a second breathtaking live performance session ‘Live From Malibu’ which has hit over 1M views, following on from the ‘Live at Joshua Tree’ EP. Ending 2023, Yussef became the first ever solo drummer to headline a viral Colors show performance, which has amassed over 3.2M views in the space of 3 weeks, as well as performing on BBC’s Later With Jools Holland.
Yussef will be joined by The Blackbyrds, Thumpasaurus, Sofia Grant, Luke Una, Homoelectric and more. A vibey Saturday to say the least.
