BANNERS recently completed a summer-long stretch of North American festival dates across the U.S. and Canada that brought him to Chicago for Lollapalooza; Columbus, OH (PromowestFest); Louisville, KY (Forecastle); Birmingham, AL (Sloss Festival); Toronto (Way Home Festival); Detroit (Mo Pop Festival); and Montreal (Osheaga). Earlier this year, BANNERS joined SiriusXM Presents Alt Nation Advanced Placement Tour Featuring Pop Etc., The Moth & The Flame, BANNERS, a 20-city month-long North American tour of the U.S. and Canada in February-March. The SiriusXM tour was preceded by 10 days of shows across Canada starring BANNERS and Young Empires. Also in 2016, BANNERS made his late night debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! Fascinated by dreams, life, death, hope and despair, BANNERS grew up singing in the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral Choir and the Liverpool Kop. Influenced by artists ranging from Jeff Buckley to Arcade Fire, his music is at once haunting and hopeful, as it resonates with audiences across space and age. After his signing to Island Records last year, BANNERS first connected with audiences on his debut single “Ghosts” which rose to #2 at Hype Machine, and was heard on MTV’s Teen Wolf. "Shine A Light" was heard on ESPN’s Monday Night Football and on the official trailer for EA’s blockbuster game, FIFA 16 Ultimate Team Legends. "Start A Riot" continued the momentum, featured in an episode of E! channel’s UK-centric The Royals. Together, “Shine a Light” and “Start A Riot” have generated over 35 million streams and have been featured in PEPSI commercials as well as shows like FOX's American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance. “Start A Riot,” “Shine a Light,” and “Ghosts” are featured on BANNERS’ self-titled debut EP of January 2016, which Popdust recently named “Best EP of 2016".
