PinkPantheress will be joining him on stage. Originally from Bath, she came to prominence as a student studying in South London when her DIY drum ‘n’ bass roller Break It Off suddenly went viral on TikTok. Several hits on the platform later (including Just For Me and Pain), she signed a deal with Parlophone to release several singles including her mixtape To Hell With It. Last year saw the release of her debut album Heaven Knows on Warner.
