Pendulum sign to Mushroom Group/Virgin Music Group

NEW SINGLE 'HALO' FEATURING BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE LEAD SINGER MATT TUCK WILL BE RELEASED JUNE 2

PENDULUM WILL PERFORM AT DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL THIS YEAR

Pendulum, the multi platinum-selling electronic rock band composed of Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillien, Peredur ap Gwynedd and KJ Sawka - have today announced they have signed a landmark new record deal with Mushroom Group and Virgin Music Group, the global independent music division of Universal Music Group.

The announcement heralds Pendulum's first music of 2023, their brand new single 'Halo' featuring Matt Tuck - lead singer of the acclaimed band Bullet For My Valentine.

Pendulum's Rob Swire says:
"We are pleased to be joining forces with Mushroom / Virgin and reuniting with Korda Marshall, a visionary who played a pivotal role in our journey back in 2006. After the successful release of 'Hold Your Colour', Korda was instrumental in propelling our career to new heights. His passion, commitment, and understanding of our music were transformative, and we look forward to this new chapter with a familiar face. We hope to make this phase of our career the most exciting one yet, and elevate our sound to unprecedented levels."

Korda Marshall says:
"It's a great pleasure to be back working with Rob and the Pendulum team.

We're all so proud of the solid success Rob has achieved over the years — they were way ahead of their time as pioneers and originators of hybrid electronic/rock/drum and bass that inspired a whole generation and resonates strongly across music today.

The new songs are sounding awesome and more relevant and attacking than ever, this first single featuring Matt from BFMV is a brilliant taste of what's to come on the forthcoming EPs.

This is our first joint venture signing with Virgin and is coming on the back of our recent top three Album success with the DMA'S and current launch of Mia Wray. It demonstrates how we can partner with artists of this calibre and bring a powerful, global team that works seamlessly to help them reach another level."

President of Virgin Music Group UK Vanessa Bosåen says:

"We are thrilled to welcome Pendulum to Virgin in partnership with Mushroom. The new music is phenomenal, and we can't wait to get it to new audiences around the globe. Seeing Rob and Korda reunited as a creative team is a genuine pleasure and no doubt an extraordinary force."

Forthcoming new single 'Halo' was premiered at the band's sold-out show at London's Alexandra Palace earlier this year, and is the first of much more new music to come from the band, with their most ambitious and exciting year to date ahead.
