Drum & Bass legends Rudimental to play Cannock Chase Forest next summer, as part of Forest Live.

Rudimental are a genre-bending British electronic group formed in Hackney, East London, in 2010. Currently operating as a trio consisting of childhood friends Piers Aggett, Kesi Dryden, and Leon Locksmith Rolle, the band first broke out of the underground pirate radio scene to top the UK charts with their 2012 smash single Feel the Love.

Renowned for their high-energy live performances and multi-instrumental approach, they blend Drum and Bass, jungle, soul, grime, and electronica. Over their career, they have accumulated over 5 billion streams, released multiple chart-topping albums like Home, and collaborated with a massive roster of top-tier talent including Ed Sheeran, Ella Eyre, and John Newman. 

Following a lineup change, the group has continued to pioneer their unique sound, returning last year with their fifth album, Rudimental, featuring the Top 10 single Dancing Is Healing and the Skepsis-assisted Green & Gold, the latter of which ended up becoming the second most-streamed DnB tune on Spotify in 2024. A rekindling of their passion for the genre and the pirate radio ethos that raised them, the album features legends like Popcaan, Idris Elba, Khalid and MIST, along with emerging talent including Charlotte Plank, Venbee and Mystic Marley, emphasising their reach and significance within the DnB scene and music globally.

Rudimental play Cannock Chase Forest on Sunday 27 June. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 16 October from forestlive.com
