ABOUT THE BAND:
At just 18 years old, Stockport-based ‘TRP’ have taken the indie music scene in their stride. Gaining a reputation for energised performances, and feral crowds to match, The Rolling People have earned their reputation as the next ‘must-see’ act with repeated sold out shows across the country.
Recently coined as ‘Manchester’s next greatest success’ by Northern Exposure Magazine, The Rolling People already have an unmatched reputation for delivering stunning live performances, which match the band’s captivating melodies accompanied by soaring choruses, something which has been recognised with spot plays on BBC Radio 6 (Chris Hawkins) plus Amazing Radio and more.
After selling out their entire debut headline tour of the UK in 2023, The Rolling People quickly announced their return to performing live in 2024, with 3 headline shows on sale in Nottingham, London and Glasgow, as well as an unmissable hometown show at the O2 Ritz Manchester in December, which will also mark their anniversary of 3 years as a band.
Now set to release their long-awaited debut EP, it is clear that the emphatic rise of The Rolling People is only set to continue.
