Jake Bugg to kick off Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks

Rocks is bringing Jake Bugg to the Balearics to kick off the 16 week long series of live open-air gigs under the stars.

The UK's most exciting new singer/songwriter will headline the hugely anticipated opening parties of Mallorca Rocks (04 June) and Ibiza Rocks (05 June) 2013.

In his own unique soulful and folk-fuelled style, Jake Bugg will take to the famous open-air Rocks stage to play live under the stars. Biffy Clyro, Plan B and Ed Sheeran have previously claimed this coveted opening party slot and Rocks is extremely proud to welcome another phenomenal, British breakthrough live act to celebrate the start of summer 2013.

Nottingham lad Jake Bugg can count Noel Gallagher and The Stone Roses amongst his biggest fans, both having personally invited him to join them as support at their respective gigs earlier this year. A flurry of fans, radio plays and tour dates in Europe, America and beyond swiftly followed. Jakes headline November shows were upgraded due to phenomenal demand and the release of his self-titled debut album was brought forward, went straight to the top spot, and made him the youngest ever British male to debut at number one in album chart history. From a relatively unknown 18 year old, Jake Bugg has become the troubadour of 2012 and one of the most in-demand artists on the live circuit for 2013.

Jake Bugg clearly connects with the Rocks crowd, saying: "I'm really looking forward to playing Ibiza Rocks in 2013. I did it as support earlier this year with Ben Howard so it's great to be invited back to play a great outdoor headline set. It seems like every time people say guitar music is dead, that's when it comes back. I think people are hungry for it."

Offering a choice of quality accommodation options at exceptional value, Mallorca Rocks every Tuesday from 04 June – 18 September and Ibiza Rocks every Wednesday from 05 June to 19 September.
