The first act for Love Supreme 2019 is SNARKY PUPPY who will headline the Big Top on Saturday 6th July.

After a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity, the Texas-bred/New York-based quasi-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all three of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016 and 2017),  Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice, as stated in an online discussion about the group, to “take them for what they are, rather than judge them for what they’re not.”

The second artist announced for Love Supreme 2019 is the unstoppable JAMIE CULLUM! 

Playing on the Main Stage on Sunday 7th July, Jamie is an incredible performer as well as being an amazing ambassador for UK jazz. He has not played Love Supreme since 2014 so it’s an absolute pleasure to have him back and organisers can’t wait to see what surprises he has in-store during his set. 

Organisers have one more artist to announced for Love Supreme this week, so please check back tomorrow to find out who will be joining Jamie Cullum and Snarky Puppy.  Then on Thursday, make sure to get your Early Bird tickets to catch all these amazing artists and more!
