Chase & Status Will be Headliners for New London Festival Electric City

Chase & Status have been named as the headliners of Electric City, a new London festival. The first event will take place on Clapham Common in London on August 28, and will be the duo’s only live London performance in 2022.

During their headline slot at Electric City, Chase & Status will be playing their brand new live show, with Headie One, Andy C, and Jme (presenting ‘Grime MC FM’) also due to perform during the day.

Chase & Status will also appear at Manchester’s Parklife festival this summer. Tyler, the Creator, 50 Cent, Megan Thee Stallion, Lewis Capaldi, Bicep, Loyle Carner, Jamie xx, Arlo Parks, Headie One, Central Cee, Fred Again.., ArrDee, Caroline Polachek, Tom Misch, and PinkPantheress are among the artists on the lineup.

Parklife 2022 also features Bad Boy Chiller Crew, India Jordan, Four Tet, Jessie Ware, Enny, Nina Kraviz, Mahalia, Carl Cox, and Tems. The festival will also be broadcast live on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.

‘RTRN II Jungle,’ Chase & Status’ most recent studio album, was released in May 2019. Last year, they covered Metallica’s ‘Wherever I May Roam’ with BackRoad Gee for the band’s ‘The Metallica Blacklist’ album.

That record “celebrated the enduring influence of Metallica with an unprecedented 50+ artists spanning an unbelievably vast range of genres, generations, cultures, continents and more, each contributing a unique interpretation of their favourite ‘Black Album’ cut”.
