Pastel

Pastel is a UK-based cover artist whose work explores the subtle intricacies of lo-fi hip hop. Drawing from the understated textures and downtempo rhythms that define this esoteric genre, Pastel crafts instrumental tracks that are both evocative and immersive. His recent releases, including the 2023 single "wait outside" and 2022’s EPs "first flight" and "Pastel’s Honeymoon," showcase a rich palette of mellow beats and organic soundscapes, resonating deeply with fans of nuanced instrumental music.

Pastel’s live music presence continues to grow across the United Kingdom. In early 2026, he headlined venues such as Yes (The Pink Room) in Manchester, The Exchange in Bristol, The Bodega in Nottingham, Sidney & Matilda in Sheffield, and The Bunkhouse in Swansea. Notably, he supported Cast during their "30 Years of All Change" shows in late 2025 at prominent venues including London’s O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire, Bournemouth’s O2 Academy, Belfast’s Limelight 1, and Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, bringing his signature sound to a wider audience alongside legendary acts.

Fans seeking live lo-fi hip hop experiences can anticipate Pastel’s support performances on the Cast "Yeah Yeah Yeah" tour at iconic locations in Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Leeds throughout October 2026.
