RIZZLE KICKS
ANNOUNCE BIGGEST EVER HEADLINE SHOW
ALEXANDRA PALACE, LONDON
FRIDAY 22ND MAY 2026
NEW ALBUM COMPETITION IS FOR LOSERS OUT NOW
Rizzle Kicks have announced their biggest ever headline show, taking place at Alexandra Palace on Friday 22nd May 2026. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday 31st October, available here.
On the announcement, Harley says: “The first football team I ever played for was the Alexandra Palace Broncos. I would go to fireworks night there every single year. I would go ice skating every Christmas. Ally Pally was such a big part of my life and now I get to play there. A genuine dream come true.”
Formed in 2011, Jordan and Harley burst onto the scene with a string of hits including ‘Down With The Trumpets’, ‘Mama Do The Hump’ and ‘Heart Skips A Beat’, the Olly Murs collaboration that went to No. 1.
In 2016, the band went on an indefinite hiatus, before returning to the stage in glorious fashion last year. 2025 has seen the band release a new album and perform a number of statement shows, including a monumental date at Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl.
The term Rizzle Kicks weather has been used to describe the comeback, referencing a positive sense of nostalgia that fans associate with festivals and summer pre-Brexit, pre-Pandemic and pre-inflation, when their audience was a little younger, and life was a little easier. The pair hope to rekindle some of that energy and bring it in to 2025.
This is now destined to continue in 2026, with the band performing their biggest headline show yet at London’s Alexandra Palace.
ABOUT Rizzle Kicks
Jordan Stephens and Harley Sulé, met in Brighton, UK in 2006. After attending BRIT School together, the duo began to collaborate, forming Rizzle Kicks. Capturing the hearts and minds of an entire generation of Britain with their cheeky, irreverent and catchy songs, the duo catapulted to fame with hits such as UK Top 10 Down With The Trumpets, Mama Do The Hump, Skip To The Good Bit, and Olly Murs collaboration ‘Heart Skips A Beat’ which topped the UK charts in 2011. Soon followed by multiple UK sold out tours including O2 Academy in Brixton, and festival appearances at Reading & Leeds, T In The Park to name but a few.
Nine years ago the pair mutually decided to bow out of the music scene for mental health reasons which they have both been open about: Harley citing struggles with anxiety and depression, and Jordan speaking frankly about dealing with an unhealthy relationship with drugs. Jordan has remained in the public eye, most recently engaging in conversations around masculinity and mental health in his new book ‘Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs’, which is out now. Meanwhile, Harley took time to focus on being a father of two as well as songwriting behind the scenes with the likes of Tom Grennan, Celeste and Rachel Chinouriri.
