Harlequins are thrilled to announce GRAMMY award-winning music star Jess Glynne as the headline music entertainment act for Big Summer Kick-Off on Saturday 27 April at Twickenham Stadium.
The world-renowned singer-songwriter, with over 1.2 billion streams to her name, will take centre stage on the pitch in the lead up to the Gallagher Premiership match between current table toppers Harlequins and Northampton Saints, performing some of her biggest hits in an unmissable experience for the whole family.
The London-born artist made history by becoming the first and only British female solo singer to score seven number ones on the UK Singles Chart, including global hits ‘I’ll Be There’, ‘Hold My Hand’ and ‘Don’t Be So Hard on Yourself’. Her two previous Platinum selling albums have both become number one records, and she has collected three Ivor Novello nominations and achieved nine BRIT Award nominations.
In addition, her long-awaited third studio album ‘Jess’ will be released on Friday 26 April, following on from the success of her new singles ‘Enough’, ‘Silly Me’, ‘What Do You Do’ and ‘Friend of Mine’.
“Headlining Big Summer Kick-Off at Twickenham Stadium is going to be big. My new album comes out the day before so I’m looking forward to celebrating that with everyone and perform some of my favourite songs. Let’s go!” Jess Glynne said.
Harlequins CEO Laurie Dalrymple added: “To have someone like Jess Glynne headlining our Big Summer Kick-Off is hugely exciting and she follows in a line of high-profile artists with Craig David and Kaiser Chiefs performing at our previous two events. She is a global superstar, renowned performer and a massive influence in the music scene, producing some of the biggest hits from the past decade. Crucially Jess is hugely relevant to our younger fan base and is helping engage the next generation of rugby fans. We can’t wait to watch Jess perform in front of a massive crowd and raise the summer vibes to a whole new level.”
