Rag’n’Bone Man adds Elles Bailey and Jamie Grey to headline set

Critically acclaimed singer-songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man is set to bring his incredible vocals to the Welsh capital this summer and he’s added another artist to his headline show at Cardiff Castle.

Rag’n’Bone Man had already announced he will be joined by special guest blues star Elles Bailey, and today it is revealed singer-songwriter Jamie Grey will join the bill on Sunday July 13.

Jamie Grey has been capturing people’s imagination with his emotionally driven powerful vocal delivery coupled with his melodic hooky songs – flirting with genres from straight pop to folk, via soul and RnB.

With monthly streams in excess of three million, 2025 promises new music releases, and a UK headline tour alongside festival appearances for Jamie as well as opening the show for Rag’n’Bone Man in Cardiff.

Human

Rag’n’Bone Man – aka Rory Graham – rose to prominence in 2016 with the release of the worldwide smash hit Human which showcased a stunning blend of traditional blues, hip-hop and, of course, an incredible and era-defining voice.

Having won the 2017 BRIT’s British Breakthrough Act and receiving the BRIT’s Critics’ Choice Award in the same year, Rag’n’Bone Man cemented his success with the record-breaking release of his four-time platinum Number One debut album Human.

His latest release, incredible, uplifting third studio album What Do You Believe In? speaks to Rag’n’Bone Man’s roots, heavily dipped in hip hop, soul and blues influences – a musical experience fans can expect to be thrilled by.

Supporting Rag’n’Bone Man with her award-winning smokey blues sound will be Bristol-born Elles Bailey. Named Vocalist Of The Year at the UK Blues Awards and Live Act Of The Year at the UK Americana Awards two years running, her fourth studio album Beneath The Neon Glow hit number 12 in the UK Album Charts and number 1 in the UK blues charts on its release last year.
