Bradley Simpson is an English singer-songwriter and musician best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of British pop-rock band The Vamps. He rose to prominence after being discovered on YouTube by bandmate James McVey, with whom he formed The Vamps in 2012; the group went on to sign with Mercury/Virgin EMI and achieve multiple UK hits and successful albums while touring internationally. Simpson blends catchy pop hooks with guitar-driven melodies and energetic live performances. Beyond his work with The Vamps, he has started a solo career, releasing his debut album ‘The Panic Years’ in 2025, showcasing a more personal, indie-leaning sound.
VOILÀ is an independent Los Angeles-based pop-rock duo featuring Luke Eisner and Gus Ross. From both Wisconsin and London, the Emmy nominated pair self-produce and write their own music. With over 335 million global streams, the band's commitment to a magically themed aesthetic has resulted in the creation of a community that call themselves "the magicians". They've landed support on an array of major editorial playlists.
Pedro Santos is a UK-based singer-songwriter who first made his mark as a member of the boyband Here At Last (alongside Zach Loizou). Born in Portugal and raised in the UK, Pedro is now stepping confidently into his solo career, drawing from a wide range of influences – Coldplay, Hozier, Tom Odell, and the retro warmth of classic pop. His latest single, “Lady In Red,” has already surpassed 2.5 million streams, marking an exciting start to this new chapter. After touring across Europe and the UK with Only The Poets and Cian Ducrot, he headlined his own tour earlier this year and now makes his BST Hyde Park debut.
Dylan Flynn & The Dead Poets make songs that come from the heart. The Limerick group are aiming for pure communication – surging Indie-Rock that comes with a pop openness, their widescreen yet down-to-earth musicality has a viral appeal, yet remains DIY in origin. 2025 saw the band self-produce and release their new EP and take on their biggest shows to date – selling-out rooms across the UK & Ireland. 3,000,000 streams later, support slots with the likes of Kingfishr, NewDad, & The Darkness, along with a trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas has show that these lads are ones to watch for 2026.
Pat Hamilton is one of Scotland’s most promising young artists, with multiple sold out headlines to his name, Pat opened the BBC Introducing Stage at TRNSMT and has amassed over 1,000,000 streams on his debut album ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Inspired by artists such as Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, and Paulo Nutini, Pat’s unique sound borrows from numerous other genres including Rap, RnB, and Country. With lyrical intricacy and captivating melodies, Pat has built a true connection with his fans whilst maintaining a notable presence on BBC Introducing in Scotland. Having sold out his Glasgow headline at King Tuts four months in advance, the attention being paid to the twenty year old has intensified as he continues to make quick headway.
Stefan Mahendra is a South East London-bred musician who has established himself as an anomaly amongst modern-day RnB artists. Half Sri Lankan and half German, Mahendra proudly represents his roots, with his wide and varied influences stemming from his rich cultural background and early exposure to gospel music in the church. From there, his love of soul, r&b, and Motown grew immeasurably, setting the tone for what his career is today. With a polished and refined craft that he has made his own, he continues to push the boundaries of his original music. He has a diverse palette of influences including D’angelo, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, John Legend. Stefan has toured the world with bands that were opening shows for the likes of Sting, Shaggy, Melanie C and many more.

About Maroon 5:
GRAMMY Award-winning, multi-platinum powerhouse Maroon 5 are one of pop music’s biggest and—most enduring—bands. In 2025, Billboard named them the top band (and #11 overall top artist) of the 21st Century. To date, the universally renowned Los Angeles group have sold 750 Million singles, earned RIAA certifications in more than 35 countries, and charted 33 records on the Billboard Hot 100. Among these hits, three are U.S. Diamond-Certified (10x Platinum), and 26 are U.S. Platinum-certified. Maroon 5 hold the record for “most #1’s on the Hot 100 this century by a duo or group,” the Pop Airplay record for the “most #1 hits among pop duos or groups” with 11, and the record for “most #1 hits on Adult Pop Airplay” with 15. Maroon 5 have currently amassed over 32 Billion combined streams on Spotify, with 12 songs reaching over 1 billion streams each. Tied for the most by any group on the platform. On YouTube, their artist channel has over 27 Billion views, including five music videos with over 1 Billion views each. This year, Maroon 5 subtly expanded their sound with a hooky and dynamic eighth studio album- Love Is Like.
Maroon 5 have achieved this success on their own terms with an instantly recognisable and singular style. A combination of airtight songwriting, straightforward lyricism, clever wit, and adventurous creativity has earmarked their hypnotic hybrid of rock and pop from day one. Emerging from the City of Angels with this style, they catapulted to world renown with their debut, Songs About Jane, which garnered their first GRAMMY for “Best New Artist” in 2005.
In 2007, the double-platinum follow-up, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, yielded the smashes “Makes Me Wonder” and “If I Never See Your Face Again.” Meanwhile, 2010’s Hands All Over represented a watershed moment, boasting “Misery” and the inescapable “Moves Like Jagger” (feat. Christina Aguilera). Both garnered GRAMMY nods in the category of “Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.” “Moves Like Jagger” seized #1 on the Top 40, Hot AC, and Billboard Hot 100 charts and stood out as “one of the best-selling singles of 2011”.
Simultaneously, frontman Adam Levine would be “the first artist in the Hot 100’s 53-year history to reach #1 as part of a group, while entering the Top 10 at the same time as a soloist, as he featured on and co-wrote Gym Class Heroes’ ‘Stereo Hearts’.” “Jagger” has gone on to become “one of the best-selling singles of all time” with sales over 55 million around the globe. It was the band’s first song to reach Diamond certification status in the U.S.
Maroon 5 once again ruled pop with 2012’s Overexposed. All of the singles became chart-toppers and, along the way, they set a record for most career number ones (11 in total) by a group in the Top 40 chart’s 30-year history.
In 2014, the group’s fifth studio album V bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top 200, yielding “Maps,” “Animals,” and “Sugar”— each capturing #1 on the Top 40 Chart. The music video for the band’s chart-dominating, GRAMMY Award-nominated, and now U.S. Diamond certified single “Sugar” is the 7th most viewed music video on YouTube, and the 19th most viewed video of all-time.
In 2018, their album Red Pill Blues featured the U.S. Diamond-certified breakout single “Girls Like You” (feat. Cardi B), which captured #1 at Top 40, #1 at Adult Pop, and #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The music video, directed by David Dobkin, went on to be “the most-watched video on VEVO in 2018.” Parlaying this momentum into another era of Maroon 5, the group’s 2021 album, JORDI (named in memory of their late manager), certified Gold right out of the gate and marked their seventh consecutive Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200. It boasted the 6x Platinum “Memories,” which became their “Tenth Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100” and “Fifteenth Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100”; marking the band’s 12th Top 10 in the last decade, including at least one song sent into the top 10 each year since 2011.
Beyond “Memories”, JORDI showcased the band’s most dynamic cohort of collaborators, including Megan Thee Stallion featured on the 2x Platinum-selling “Beautiful Mistakes”, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks, Academy Award winner H.E.R., as well as late hip-hop legends Juice WRLD and Nipsey Hussle.
On their most recent album, Love Is Like, Levine alternates between swaggering playboy and hopeless romantic on the dapper “My Love,” and he strikes a similar balance on “Hideaway,” firing off a laid-back rap cadence and silk-smooth falsetto over breezy keys and cinematic strings. Within its compact choruses, the record is sonically ambitious, from the percussive, jazz-chord daydream “Priceless”, (featuring BLACKPINK’S Lisa), to the sax-laced, slap-bass funk-pop of “All Night.” Another centrepiece is the romance-as-drugs meditation “Love Is Like,” with its booming jazz-rap drums, pitch-shifted R&B samples, and a scene-stealing cameo from hip-hop legend Lil Wayne.
In 2023, Maroon 5 launched their 40-show Las Vegas Residency, M5LV, to rave reviews from fans and critics alike as Billboard crowned them “a perfect fit for a Las Vegas residency.” Now the band is currently touring in support of their new album, Love Is Like, on their first US Arena tour since 2018.
With another world tour on the horizon, Maroon 5 continues to reinvent their live show, bringing a catalogue of hits to new audiences around the globe.
