Imperial Leisure are a North London band born from high school friendship and a huge admiration of great groups, both close to home, such as The Specials and The Prodigy, and, from further afield, Jurassic 5 and Rage Against The Machine. The fan-base Imperial Leisure have built through their live activity has paid off with their debut single, In A Letter, selling out on the day of release.

Imperial Leisure are joined by London based grime-poster Trip. After winning numerous Jump-off 'one bout MC battles' and hosting the DMC world championships, Alex Child a.k.a. Trip launched his new project that would find him described as being like The Streets meeting The Clash. An absolutely stunning pop performer, he’s already being haled as the successor to acts like Jamie T and Just Jack.

For over 80 years, Red Stripe Lager has embodied the long, rich history of Jamaica, its music and DIY culture. Over the last three-and-a-half decades, the beer has become synonymous with good music and a spirit of youthful rebellion. Red Stripe’s association with music was cemented in the UK in the late seventies, by the emergence of reggae, punk and ska. Club ‘Stripe’ is an extension of this and opens its doors to all that challenges, thrills and borders on the next big thing.
