Over the last few years, Nova Twins have emerged as one of the most vital and transformative forces in contemporary music. Breaking out of the UK’s independent scene, the Mercury Music Prize and two-time BRIT Award nominees – and 2026 MOBO Award winners for Best Alternative Music Act – are redefining what a modern rock band can be. From the UK’s Glastonbury to Japan’s Summer Sonic, they’ve dominated major festival stages worldwide and shared bills with legends like Foo Fighters, Yungblud, and Bring Me The Horizon. Praised by icons like Tom Morello (“an incredible band”) and Elton John (“phenomenal”), the duo has graced the covers of Kerrang!, NME, and Alternative Press, while collecting accolades from the Women in Music Awards, AIM Awards, and the Nordoff & Robbins Awards, to name a few. Their Mercury Music Prize shortlisting in 2022 inked Love and South’s names in the history books as the first black rock band to receive a nomination, a victory not just for the duo, but for music culture itself. Renowned for their electrifying live performances, Nova Twins are equally acclaimed for their singular sound. Every note is the product of real instrumentation, bass and guitar teased, pushed, and manipulated through tap-dancing across expansive pedalboards. Paired with a rich, inventive vocal approach, their music achieves an unmistakable identity without a synthesiser in sight.Browse all performers
