Introducing... Caity Baser, Venbee and TIBASKO!
It's time to meet some of the artists performing on the Festival Stage in Founder's South Quad!
Caity Baser
"Oh, not another one, here we go again!" First up, we're welcoming the unmistakable Caity Baser! Combining no-holds-barred lyrics with lilting, catchy melodies, her uplifting pop anthems will have you and your mates singing along. Becoming an overnight TikTok sensation, Caity has now accumulated almost 2.5M monthly listeners on Spotify and is ready to take on the Festival Stage in just a few weeks' time!
Venbee
Next up, rising singer-songwriter Venbee! Combining emotive lyrics with drum & bass beats, her viral hits 'Messy in Heaven' and 'Low Down' have amassed a combined 100 million Spotify streams. We're sure you're extremely familiar with 'Messy in Heaven' after it spent a whopping 26 weeks in the Official UK Top 40 Charts, having peaked at No.3 in December 2022 and again in January earlier this year. We can't wait for Venbee's Summer Ball debut!
TIBASKO
Last but certainly not least... Emerging British electronic duo TIBASKO are currently taking the dance music scene by storm! Having featured as Pete Tong’s ‘Future Stars' in 2021, the Hertfordshire-based duo have gone from strength to strength. Their track 'Hawt', released in November 2022, featured as BBC Radio 1's 'Hottest Record' and will undoubtedly get you in the party mood. From touring the UK festival circuit (including debut sets at Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds this summer) to performing shows in Las Vegas, TIBASKO are now making their way to Royal Holloway, to get you dancing all night long.
Keep your eyes peeled for your headline artist announcement on Friday 19 May!
What Else is Happening?
The fun isn't just happening on the Festival Stage; there will be plenty of activities outside and on Founder's Square for you to try out.
First up, the fairground rides will be returning to Summer Ball, including the Giant Ferris Wheel. We're also bringing back the 360 Photobooth so that you and your friends can get those glam shots on the night. You'll also have a chance to put on your own performance in our Karaoke room - we can't wait to hear you sing your heart out to all the best tracks!
