Established in 2011, Roundhouse Rising Festival has built a reputation for showcasing the diverse creative talent of the future through its reputable creative programme of performances, workshops and access to industry events and traineeships, driving its dedication to supporting new and emerging artists and young people looking to progress their careers in off-stage music roles.

Lucy Wood, Head of Music at Roundhouse, said: "We're so happy to have Easy Life as our curators for Rising Festival this year; their songs and lyrics really speak to their generation, and their love of all kinds of music was clear from the start. They're keen to support the next generation of talent, including young people from the Roundhouse's creative programmes. We're also excited to be earmarking even more performance slots for Roundhouse talent than ever before."
