In a first-of-its kind headliner for Rock Oyster, fans can immerse themselves in the extraordinary for a dance music journey like no other.
Saturday night is set to be nothing short of breathtaking, headlined by Rag’n’Bone Man who makes his Rock Oyster debut. Hot on the heels of his third studio album ‘What Do You Believe In?’ Rag’n’Bone Man is the 3x BRIT Award, Ivor Novello Award winner who’s toured the globe, sharing his powerful baritone vocals. Rory Graham rose to fame as Rag’n’Bone Man in 2016 with the huge, blues-laden debut single ‘Human’ and globally he has amassed over 8 billion streams. Next summer, Rock Oyster will be treated to inimitable vocals and a truly unforgettable performance from Rag’n’Bone Man, as he returns with a renewed sense of purpose and an entirely new energy; soulful, uplifting and joyful.
UB40 is the reggae and pop collective who’ve served up hits including Red Red Wine and Kingston Town. Formed in the 70s, the band has scored 50 singles in the UK charts throughout its expansive career, plus enormous acclaim on a global scale. Fuelled by the voice that powered UB40 to 70 million record sales, Ali Campbell is back and bringing reggae cheer into the world. Building on a legacy that dates back 45 years to inner-city Birmingham, singer and guitarist Ali’s touring ensemble remains the most authentic realisation of UB40’s original aim of advancing reggae in all its guises. And now their legend continues, as UB40 featuring Ali Campbell remain a show-stopping headline act, who are not to be missed at Rock Oyster next summer.
Renowned for his electrifying DJ sets, Gok Wan also joins the bill alongside the legendary Craig Charles, bringing his iconic Funk & Soul vibes. Fans of classic Britpop are in for a treat with Be Here Now, the ultimate Oasis tribute band, while rising star Emily Magpie will captivate with her ethereal indie-folk soundscapes. Prepare for high-energy grooves from Malavita and funky brass-driven beats from Brass Junkies, with Peri Rae’s soulful melodies adding a touch of heartfelt charm. Electric Spank’s infectious blend of funk and jazz, the edgy rock sounds of Shagrat, and the ska-punk energy of Go Go Skank round out the first wave of what is shaping up to be a diverse and exciting lineup promising an unforgettable Rock Oyster experience. Stay tuned, there’s much more still to come!
