Forward-thinking beatmaker and producer, Jamie xx helped shape the sound of the late 2000s and beyond with his Mercury Music Prize-winning group the xx and solo work. He released debut single âFar Nearer/Beat Forâ in 2011. Further singles âGirl/Sleep Soundâ, âAll Under One Roof Ravingâ, âLoud Placesâ, and âGoshâ followed, the latter two appearing on his debut album as a solo artist, 2015âs In Colour, which received nominations for a Best Dance/Electronic Album Grammy, the Mercury Prize and Album of the Year at the Brit Awards. Jamie released âIdontknowâ in 2020, boasting a faster-pace and more aggressive sound than his In Colour era. He returned in April this year with the festival ready anthem, âLET'S DO IT AGAINâ, released alongside his massive set at Coachella. Get ready to move when Jamie xx plays Falls 2022/2023!
Few artists have made an impact like South Korean born DJ and producer Peggy Gou.

These iconic tracks with their playful, unmistakable MPC rhythms and irresistible melodies have seen her tour the worldâs leading clubs and festivals, from Glastonbury to Dekmantel, De School to Printworks and now Peggy Gou will be the very first artist to headline Falls' new Sugarloaf Resort.
