KiLNE was formed in 2023 in Stoke-on-Trent , West Midlands, UK, by professional musicians Danny Shaw and Ben Oakes, with a desire to create a professional marching band using the skills of local musicians and styled on the town centre parade bands that Danny was already working with. It bridges the gap between traditional big band music and electronic beats, performed by real instruments using top players from jazz, big band, brass band and classical. KiLNEs debut EP 'T-minus 5' was released in May 2025. It featured re-works of five electronic music tracks that have inspired them, including well known songs by Fred Again.., Flux Pavilion, Peggy Gou and Rudimental. In September 2025 KiLNE were invited by BBC Introducing to record two tracks live at the legendary BBC Maida Vale Studios. A second EP, ‘Kinetic', was released in July 2026 and includes their first original song releases and KiLNE’s version of ‘Disconnect', the Becky Hill and Chase & Status hit. KiLNE have grown quickly in 2026 from significant sharing of their ambitious videos from their TikTok account, generating millions of views and shares. Their cover of 'Green & Gold' in particular has received a lot of attention. KILNE recently announced their first UK headline dates for November 2026, performing in Manchester, London and their home-town of Stoke-on-Trent. ALL ENQUIRIES - [email protected]
