The voice behind Clean Banditâs âRather Beâ, Route 94âs âMy Loveâ, Rudimentalâs âThese Daysâ with Macklemore, and the extremely popular âHold My Handâ as featured on the Jet2 advert, Glynne is an icon around the world.
The only British female solo artist to have seven no.1 singles on the UK Singles Chart, Glynne was also considered one of the âMost Influential People Under 30â by Forbes magazine in 2019.
With ten billion global streams, Glynne recently announced her long-awaited third studio album âJessâ which was released in late April.
Eddy OâBrien, CEO of iMEP, said: âWe are ecstatic to announce that international, award-winning star Jess Glynne will headline the quarter of a million-pound iMEP Music Festival this September.
âWe have been planning this concert for some time now and to have such a huge star like Jess performing here in Accrington is going to be an incredible spectacle and one which we are thoroughly looking forward to.
âDemand is already extremely high for the festival and with a capacity of 6,000, we would recommend that fans keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further updates.â
Speaking about her brand new album, Glynne said: “If I was to summarise this album, firstly I would say that this album is unapologetically me, which is why I had to call it Jess. Itâs about moving on and allowing myself to be secure, empowered, sexy, vulnerable and strong. Iâve allowed myself to be raw and honest with my lyrics.
âItâs realising why I love and got into music. Listening to artists like Amy Winehouse, Joni Mitchell, Lauryn Hill, and Prince have inspired me to be the truest version of myself, and reminded me why I was inspired to write, to sing, to feel.
âIâve been given so much freedom musically, artistically and creatively. No one has set any boundaries on me and itâs allowed me to be free and make Jess be the album I truly want it to be.”
