Wednesday 7 August, 2013: London Grammar and AlunaGeorge take to the stage at Ibiza Rocks to showcase the best of new British talent.
London Grammar drew an impressive early crowd to the Ibiza Rocks Hotel stage, dropping tracks from their hotly-anticipated debut album, If You Wait. Their sombre, sultry and subtle sounds might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Ibiza, but their captivating chemistry was certainly more than enough to enrapture the poolside of spaced out ravers. The ghostly guitarwork of Dan Rothman and the intricate keys and percussion from Dot Major make for the perfectly balanced backdrop to the soaring and heart-wrenchingly mesmerising vocals of Hannah Reid.
Packing out the poolside arena, AlunaGeorge drive Ibiza to do what they do best - party hard. The old-school 90s R&B vibe of their sound lands really well with the shameless hedonism of the crowd, as 'Just A Touch' and 'Attracting Flies' start a fun-fuelled fiesta of grinding and good times. The frenzy reserved for their Disclosure collaboration 'White Noise' not only makes it a highlight, but demonstrates why it's THE anthem of 2013, while their cover of Montell Jordan's 'This Is How We Do It' is exactly what the Ibiza Rocks stage was built for.
