PAOLO NUTINI for IBIZA ROCKS & MALLORCA ROCKS 2012
IT'S SUNNY SIDE UP FOR PAOLO NUTINI THIS SUMMER
AS HE MAKES MALLORCA ROCKS AND IBIZA ROCKS DEBUT
This summer, Ibiza Rocks will proudly present Paolo Nutini, making his hugely anticipated debut at Mallorca Rocks and Ibiza Rocks, Tuesday 7th August and Wednesday 8th August respectively. He joins an already stellar line up including Ed Sheeran, Kasabian, New Order, Bloc Party, Tinie Tempah, Example, Kaiser Chiefs, Chase & Status, Professor Green, Maverick Sabre, Labrinth, DJ Fresh presents FRESH/LIVE, Azealia Banks and Two Door Cinema Club who will also play the 16-week long series of outdoor summer gigs.
Paisley born and bred singer songwriter Paolo Nutini made his mark on the music scene with 4 x Platinum debut album These Streets (2006)which firmly established him as one of the UK's premier singer songwriter talents. Critically acclaimed and self-produced second album Sunny Side Up (2009) debuted at No.1 and achieved 5 x Platinum status, proving that Paolo Nutini is a rare and genuine talent with stunning songwriting ability and worldwide appeal. These extra special shows are sure to provide a seminal moment of the summer for ‘Rocks' eagerly awaiting, international audience.
2012 will see Paolo return with a new album as well as touring old songs and new across the world with his incredible band. The multi-million selling artist has racked up some incredible achievements over the years, firmly establishing him as a global superstar. 2011 saw him receive the ‘Best Headline Act' award at the UK Festival Awards for his shows at Latitude & Rockness, as well as warming up the stage for Elbow & Coldplay at Saturday night's Glastonbury.
In 2010, Paolo won the UK music industry's highest acclaim, the Ivor Novello for Best Album - an award every artist wishes to win! He also picked up the Q Best Male accolade at the highly prestigious Q Music Awards, adding to a positively heaving clutch of achievements in his career to date.
Nutini's reputation for blistering, crowd rousing live performances has seen him electrify audiences across the globe since he exploded onto the scene in 2006. Now, with a stunning catalogue of material from the multi-platinum global smashes These Streets and Sunny Side Up, plus songs from his forthcoming new album, Paolo's show promise to deliver an unforgettable evening in the hazy Ibiza sun.
Shane Murray, Promoter, Ibiza Rocks Group said: ‘Having Paolo at Mallorca and Ibiza Rocks is a real coup for us. He's a genuine festival headliner so these relatively intimate shows really stand out. They will also provide fans with a rare chance to see him live this summer. We're hugely excited to have him out here and hear he's equally excited about the Rocks shows and soaking up the Balearic sun. Special times for all!'

Ben Howard in Ibiza Rocks 2012
BEN HOWARD COMES ‘HOME' TO THE WHITE ISLE
FOR A HEADLINE SHOW AT IBIZA ROCKS
"Without a doubt, Ibiza is one of my favourite places on the planet. I've been to the island every year of my life and genuinely stoked to get there for a big show. My Grandad opened one of the first bars on the old port so that's my little claim to fame over there. Great to be part of the whole Ibiza Rocks vibe, Ibiza's always had a big gap when it comes to bands with guitars so great to be included really. I can't wait." Ben Howard
Ibiza, 3rd April 2012 (FIX Ibiza).- This summer, Ibiza Rocks will proudly present Britain's biggest rising star Ben Howard at Ibiza Rocks, Wednesday 4th July. He joins an already stellar line up including Ed Sheeran, Kasabian, New Order, Bloc Party, Tinie Tempah, Example, Kaiser Chiefs, Chase & Status, Paolo Nutini, Professor Green, Maverick Sabre, Labrinth, DJ Fresh presents FRESH/LIVE, Azealia Banks and Two Door Cinema Club who will also play the 16-week long series of outdoor summer gigs.
2011 was, in Ben's own, understated words, "quite hectic". †In the space of just twelve short months, Ben inked his record deal, recorded and released his beautiful debut album, Every Kingdom, and soon found his record propelling him into the UK Top 10. Every Kingdom has been such a success it will be released in the US in April, an album that was recorded in a converted barn out in the Devonshire Countryside where Ben and his band currently live.
Growing up in Devon, and spending every summer at the family's home in Ibiza, Ben surrounded himself with the richly textured music in his parents' record collection. "Van Morrison, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Richie Havens, Joni Mitchell, Simon and Garfunkel," he says. "That's what we'd listen to in the house and in the car wherever we were going." It was these records that encouraged him to pick up a guitar, re-stringing his mum's Spanish nylon acoustic as a young lad.
Ben has enjoyed a rapid rise to fame and his success continues to soar with sold out shows across the globe and a string of Festival dates this summer including Bonnaroo, Radio 1 Hackney Weekend, Latitude, T in the Park, V and Bestival. Fans at Ibiza Rocks, however, can enjoy Ben's stunning live show in a more intimate sun kissed setting as he takes to the famous open air stage at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel on Wednesday 4th July.
The Ibiza Rocks brand consistently boasts a bill crammed with the biggest international artists and breakthrough talent live under the Balearic stars and offers a choice of quality accommodation options in Mallorca and Ibiza at exceptional value. Summer 2012 will see 32 ‘Rocks' gigs across 16 consecutive weeks. Mallorca Rocks every Tuesday from 05 June – 18 September. Ibiza Rocks every Wednesday from 06 June to 19 September.

PLAN B, THE MACCABEES AND ROB DA BANK FOR IBIZA ROCKS
PLUS MORE SHOWS FOR ZANE LOWE AND SOME OF THE BEST BREAKING BANDS
INCLUDING SPECTOR, THE MILK & THEME PARK ADDED TO LINE UP
INCLUDING SPECTOR, THE MILK & THEME PARK ADDED TO LINE UP
As always, Ibiza Rocks will also present the best DJs, including a welcome return from newly announced Radio 1 DJ and Bestival head-honco Rob da Bank who has a long history with ‘Rocks' having played at the first ever gig at the opening of the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in 2008 and then at the 5th Birthday with The Prodigy. Ibiza veteran Rob da Bank is back and joins the line up with Ibiza boy Ben Howard (04/07). On top of that there's the brilliant breaking talent throughout the season and organisers are pleased to announce that Spector, The Milk and Theme Park and are amongst the first set of supreme support bands to be added to summer's best bill.
Following a phenomenal headline performance Plan B at the ‘Rocks' opening parties last year, organisers are delighted to welcome back the multi award-winning, multi-talented star to the main stage Ibiza Rocks (25/07). A truly maverick figure in the world of music, Ben Drew's diverse creativity is inexhaustible. Awards, accolades, acclaim and multi-platinum album sales are just the tip of his artistic ambitions. Following his quadruple- platinum No.1 second album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, a BRIT, three Ivor Novello's and sold out headline tours, Drew, AKA Plan B, has just completed his self-penned directorial debut film and album, iLL Manors - a stark, often brutal and provocative depiction of Forest Gate, east London, where Drew was born and raised.
Once again, Plan B will wow the crowds with chart-topping favourites form Defamation of Strickland Banks along with the promise of new material including iLL Manors, which will be a must buy, featuring production from Labrinth (Tinie Tempah), Chase & Status (Rihanna) and Al Shux (Jay-Z) - the soundscape is as bold and brilliant as its namesake. Bass-heavy, there's references to the music Ben is listening to now (Rocks acts Azealia Banks and Maverick Sabre to name two) as well as the dubstep, bass, hip hop and D&B that have shaped him sonically over the years. In Ibiza, Plan B will be joined by Ibiza Rocks Music Director and the UK's most influential tastemaker, Zane Lowe – two of music's biggest champions united on one incredible Balearic bill.
It's fair to say that The Maccabees got off to a very good start in 2012, with the release of their third studio album Given to the Wild storming into the Top 5, receiving mass critical acclaim and being hailed by The Sunday Times as ‘One of the albums of 2012.' As well as a masterpiece of an album, the South London five-piece can boast sold out UK tours including their momentous homecoming show at Brixton Academy (their third headline sold out show at the London venue to date) and they still have their biggest headline gig to come (Alexandra Palace, 08/06). It is with huge excitement that Ibiza Rocks bring The Maccabees to the famous, open-air ‘Rocks' stage for a truly unmissable gig that's sure to be one of many crowning moments for the ‘must see' band this year (20/06).
The Maccabees said: 'This will be our first time at Ibiza Rocks. It's a pleasure to be involved in such a strong line-up of shows this year. Thanks for having us!'
Ibiza Rocks has consistently provided a platform for new and breakthrough talent, offering support slots to those they believe have what it takes to go all the way. Tinie Tempah, Bombay Bicycle Club and Example are just a few previous support acts who have returned to headline in their own right. This year will see another brilliant batch of breaking bands start their ‘Rocks' journey.
BBC's Sound of 2012 nominees Spector have been impressively labeled as ‘somewhere between Roxy Music and the Strokes, the Killers and Kanye West, Pulp, R&B and Frank Sinatra' (The Guardian). Spector are currently touring Europe with Florence and the Machine and have just made their first US appearance to the masses at California's Coachella festival. Safe to say these boys don't mess about! They are sure to be on their finest form when they support Kaiser Chiefs at Ibiza Rocks in June, with Zane Lowe also added to the bill to make these shows a triple triumph.
The Milk will be supporting Ed Sheeran at both ‘Rock's opening parties in June. These young soul rebels promise to bring something different to the Balearics, with their irresistibly infectious mix of classic northern soul, punk and reggae – a combination so favourable that NME have labeled them ‘the next band you all should be paying attention to' and The Guardian say they are ‘the band you've been waiting for.'
Highly touted London four-piece Theme Park have been releasing demos online and dominating the charts on internet Radio before now finally starting to catch the attention of the mainstream, with standout tracks such as the insanely catchy Milk. They've been compared to the likes of Vampire Weekend and Metronomy and hailed as "fine and worthy successors to the funk-rock mantle previously held by Talking Heads." Having toured recently with the likes of Florence and the Machine and Bombay Bicycle Club and with their debut album due out next month, Theme Park are ‘one to watch' at ‘Rocks' 2012 and will support The Maccabees.
The Ibiza Rocks brand consistently boasts a bill crammed with the biggest international artists and breakthrough talent live under the Balearic stars and offers a choice of quality accommodation options in Ibiza at exceptional value. Summer 2012 will see Ibiza Rock across 16 consecutive weeks.
Ibiza Rocks every Wednesday from 06 June to 19 September.
