Notes to Editors

Launched in London in June 2004, ILUVLIVE is a live event success story. With few live showcases open to home grown music, ILUVLIVE has helped numerous performers present their artistry with a full live band to music industry virtuosos, journalists and fans alike. Since its launch ILUVLIVE has showcased the likes of Jessie J, Ed Sheeran, Taio Cruz, Chipmunk, Tinchy Stryder, Katy B, Ndubz, Roll Deep, Ms Dynamite, Eliza Doolittle, Plan B and Tinie Tempah. Kano curated his own event in celebration of EP release 'Not for the A-list', alongside producer Mikey J for the first ILUVLIVE of 2012 in January.
Each monthly event features six acts all playing with a live band, plus the ILUVLIVE '60 second open mic' which has now reached legendary status. Even established acts sometimes get involved, just for the hell of it, alongside newcomers. Anyone can sign up for the open mic but the 8-12 slots fill up fast and the competition is ferocious with the act most popular with the audience winning a coveted slot at the next show.
