The xx is a band built around the talents of Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, and Jamie Smith (aka Jamie xx). Effortlessly cool and quietly captivating, the London-based trio draws on a wide range of influences—from R&B to classic alternative rock. Their distinctive, emotional, and atmospheric sound — centered around the dual vocals of Croft and Sim — first caught listeners’ attention in 2009 with the single “Crystalised,” followed by their debut album „The xx”, which went on to win the prestigious Mercury Prize. In 2012, the band released their second album, Coexist. In late 2016, the single “On Hold” signaled a new, more energetic and eclectic direction for the group — a sound that fully unfolded on their third album I See You, released in January 2017. After a series of solo projects, Croft, Sim, and Smith return this year as The xx. We can’t wait to see them live — July 1st, Orange Main Stage!
