Southbank Centre has announced the first names from the Spring contemporary music season, with an array of shows spanning soul, jazz, electronica, folk, flamenco, folk and indie and featuring performances from the very best emerging artists through to revered veterans.

In April 2018, to celebrate the reopening of the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room after a two year refurbishment, Southbank Centre presents events from the UK’s finest contemporary composers and performers. On 13 and 14 April, the emerging voices across soul, jazz and electronica including Tawiah, Matt Emery, Skeltr and Aadae will take to the stage, and electronic artist and composer Hannah Peel and 29 piece brass band Tubular Brass present an evening of inventive electronic fusion. Acclaimed choreographer Holly Blakey and composer Mica Levi also present the premiere of Cowpuncher – a dance and music performance that toys with the structure, sounds and vistas of the Western movie genre to create a scorched and sandy playground in the Queen Elizabeth Hall.
