Tyla, the Grammy-winning global sensation, is the latest confirmation for July 12th on the NOS Stage at NOS Alive'24. This marks the artist's debut at the festival, sharing the day with names such as Dua Lipa, Aurora, Floating Points, Gloria Groove, Larkin Poe, Michael Kiwanuka, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, T-Rex, and The Heavy.
Sofi Tukker, the new-york based electronic music duo and The American singer-songwriter Alec Benjamin are also set to perform at NOS Alive’24, on July 13th on the Heineken Stage, at the 16th edition of the festival, which takes place on July 11th, 12th, and 13th at Passeio Marítimo de Algés.
Tyla's music defies boundaries, with songs that offer an innovative approach to pop and R&B, shining with the euphoria of South African amapiano and supernatural production that makes them unique. Hailing from Johannesburg, the artist gained international prominence with her debut single "Getting Late" featuring Kooldrink, whose refrain message, "Not gonna waste my time," took on powerful meaning. Despite initial challenges, Tyla persevered, releasing new singles like "Been Thinking" and "To Last" through Epic Records, showcasing her versatility and advancing towards her goals.
With a childhood marked by music, Tyla always knew her passion was singing. Despite adversities, she never gave up on her dream, inspired by icons like Rihanna, who motivated her to pursue her place in the music industry. Her determination culminated in hits like "Getting Late," "Overdue," "Truth or Dare," and the resounding "Water," which earned her first GRAMMY® for Best African Music Performance, highlighting her internationally and solidifying her position as a talented and unique artist.
Currently, Tyla is focused on expanding her reach and creating her debut album, continuing to follow her intuition and passion for music. On July 12th, she arrives at the NOS Stage for a unique and unmissable performance at NOS Alive'24.
After traveling a long road from the days of promoting his music in parking lots outside concert venues, Alec Benjamin ended 2021 performing for sold-out crowds across North America and 2022 with a successful worldwide tour. Alec boasts an impressive resume, currently with over 21 million monthly streams, over 10 million followers across all his social media platforms, and over one billion views on YouTube on his channel.
SOFI TUKKER – best friends Sophie Hawley-Weld & Tucker Halpern – have a global reputation as the most vibrant, positive and community-driven dance music group out there.
The duo met senior year at Brown University, where Tucker was a basketball jock and Sophie studied conflict resolution and Brazilian Portuguese. In 2015 they put out their debut single “Drinkee,” which was nominated for a GRAMMY, followed by a 2nd nomination for their debut album Treehouse. They have since earned Platinum & Gold record sales, several #1 records, over a billion streams, and campaigns for Apple ("Best Friend"), Peloton ("Purple Hat") and Smartwater ("Wet Tennis”). 2023 saw Tucker & Sophie as the faces of colorful G-Star Raw & Baboon to the Moon collections, and the continuation of their own fashion label, WET TENNIS.
