Soul II Soul

Soul II Soul stand as icons of British contemporary R&B and dance-pop, having shaped the musical landscape since their emergence in 1988. Renowned for their signature blend of soulful rhythms, deep grooves, and pioneering production, the collective has long been recognised for infusing dancefloors and airwaves with tracks that transcend generations. Their sound, steeped in the UK’s vibrant club culture, remains as relevant now as it was during the “Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)” era.

Recent live music highlights showcase Soul II Soul’s ongoing energy and influence. In summer 2025, the group headlined at Ashdown Forest, demonstrating their enduring appeal as a live act. They have also supported Simply Red during select October 2025 concerts at major UK venues such as the O2 in London and Brighton Centre, and shared the stage with Grace Jones at the Crystal Palace Bowl in July 2026, as well as with Janet Jackson and Wyclef Jean at Sandringham in August 2026. Their festival appearances include supporting Rudimental at LOVEBOX in Margate and joining line-ups with influential acts like DJ Shadow at Boiler Room, ensuring their presence at the epicentre of contemporary live music culture.

Soul II Soul’s commitment to musical innovation continues, with releases such as the “A Dreams a Dream (Ron Trent refix)” single anticipated for September 2025 and the live album “Live at Roundhouse” marking a milestone in their ongoing journey.
