Jake Bugg

 Jake Bugg will be performing at hmv Empire on Thursday 11th September ! He returns to hmv Empire after a brilliant sold-out 2023 show at the venue. He'll be performing 2 sets - 1 acoustic and 1 electric.

With 6 albums and numerous hit singles to his name, Jake Bugg has a seasoned knowledge beyond his years, which he couples with a refreshing wry sense of humour. He’s a British singer-songwriter from Nottingham whose first album, the self-titled ‘Jake Bugg’ reached number 1 in the UK album charts, and saw the then 18-year-old feted as the next Bob Dylan.

Jake has since gone on to have five more top selling albums and countless headline live performances across the world.
His laid-back gritty swagger and striking yet nonchalant image have seen him fuse his music and style, collaborating with the likes of Saint Laurent and Burberry on campaigns.

Refusing to bury his head in the sand, the Nottingham troubadour is back with a fiery and engaged sixth album, returning to his roots on the shamelessly rock-driven ‘A Modern Day Distraction’ – a record that turns up the noise while shining a light on the injustice he’s seen dealt to the family and friends he grew up with.
