INCLUDING “NIGHTS LIKE THESE” WITH RAG’N’BONE MAN
August 22nd – Chart conquering UK drum’n’bass heavyweights Rudimentalhave shared their highly anticipated fifth studio album RUDIM3NTAL. The album includes new single “Nights Like These” featuring multi-platinum British singer Rag’n’Bone Man, an uplifting Rudimental anthem in which the band’s signature DnB production blends perfectly with Rag’n’Bone Man’s deep soulful vocals.
The 15-track strong project features an exceptional list of collaborators, including emerging and established artists, pirate radio legends and some unexpected names. The album includes previously released “Back To Me” (ft. Jess Glynne), “All I Know” (ft. Khalid), Vex (ft. MIST & Popcaan), the massive Platinum Certified and BRIT-nominated hit “Dancing Is Healing” (ft.Vibe Chemistry & Charlotte Plank) and Skepsis-assisted “Green & Gold” (ft. Charlotte Plank & Riko Dan) – which became 2024’s second most streamed DnB track on Spotify. These familiar hard hitting anthems – which have so far racked up over 260 million streams combined – are joined by new collaborations from Idris Elba, Venbee, Peter Xan.
As well as being packed full of explosive collaborations, RUDIM3NTAL is a recalibration for the London trio. Historically, Rudimental – made up of Piers, Leon and Kesi – have been a multi-faceted outfit that blends DJing, electronic production and live instrumentation; the new album is a purer form of their signature sound, as they return to their DnB roots, celebrating the genre in all its many forms. Through both their distinctive production and their choice of featured artists, on this album Rudimental dive deeper than ever before into the cultural links between pirate radio and sound system culture in both the UK and the Caribbean.
The RUDIM3NTAL live setup debuted at the start of 2025 on a headline tour of Australia and New Zealand – one which finds the trio back behind the decks – they subsequently took it to Coachella, EDC Las Vegas, before returning to the UK to play to one of the biggest crowds of the weekend at Parklife, followed by Glastonbury and Boomtown. This weekend, Rudimental will be celebrating today’s triumphant album release with a mammoth set at Reading & Leeds Festival. Album release celebrations will then continue as Rudimental headline a special one-off sold out show at London’s Outernetnext week.
Since the group became inseparable at school, they have enjoyed unimaginable success, setting the bar high as one of the UK’s most successful dance acts of the last decade. Multiple chart entries, two #1 albums, three #1 singles, over 5.5 billion streams, multiple platinum-selling singles, nine BRIT Award nominations, plus a plethora of awards have cemented Rudimental’sposition as global trailblazers with a formidable reputation for producing hit records.
The new album represents a full circle moment. As a trio of lifelong friends reconnecting with the foundations on which Rudimental was first built, Leon, Piers and Kesi sound refreshed, reinvigorated and ready to tear into the next chapter of the band’s story.
