Tyla is a rising South African pop star who has gained international attention for her fusion of amapiano (South African dance music genre), pop, and R&B music. Her breakthrough came with the 2023 single ‘Water’, which went viral on TikTok and made her the first South African soloist in decades to chart on the Billboard Hot 100. It peaked at number 4 on the Official Singles chart. This success led to major milestones, including winning the Grammy for Best African Music Performance and supporting Chris Brown on his European tour. In March 2024, she released her self-titled debut album, ‘Tyla +’ Doechii is an innovative rapper and singer celebrated for her versatility and distinct style. Rising to prominence with her 2020 single ‘Yucky Blucky Fruitcake’, she blends hip-hop, pop, alternative, and R&B influences into a unique musical identity. In August 2024, Doechii released album ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, showcasing her eclectic style with tracks ranging from themes like mental health to empowering anthems. The project solidified her position as a boundary-pushing artist in the rap scene. ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal’, was inspired by her upbringing in Florida. JADE, also known as Jade Thirlwall, is a British singer and songwriter best known for her tenure with the girl group Little Mix, which rose to fame after winning The X Factor in 2011. Following Little Mix’s success and hiatus, JADE launched her solo career with her debut single, ‘Angel of My Dreams’, released in July 2024. Her follow-up single, ‘Fantasy’, took a disco turn, influenced by artists like Donna Summer and Diana Ross. JADE’s described her solo journey as a chance to redefine her sound and build a direct connection with her audience. Her debut album should be released next year. “I think getting to do my own thing creatively is just everything… People understand who I’m trying to be as an artist and who I am authentically.” JADE said for Harper’s Bazaar Australia.
The singer Raye is currently up for three Grammy awards and fans are awaiting the release of her postponed second album. Tickets for All Points East are nearly sold out but can still be purchased at the All Points East festival’s website, where more support acts are bound to be announced soon.
