Jools welcomes Simple Minds, Wu-Lu, FLO, Christine and the Queens, and Rita Wilson.

Jools welcomes Simple Minds, Wu-Lu and Lex Amor, FLO, Christine and the Queens Presents Redcar, and Rita Wilson and Jackson Browne to the show.

Three of the five artists on the show are making their debut. The first are Scottish legends Simple Minds, who perform a couple of tracks from their eighteenth studio album, Direction of the Heart, while also chatting to Jools and choosing a Glen Campbell performance from the Later... archives.

The second debut comes from south London's Wu-Lu, a producer and multi-instrumentalist who swims effortlessly between genres. He performs his track South, joined by rapper Lex Amor. The song cultivates a new sound that lies between the interplay of underground punk and alternative hip-hop and is taken from his debut album LOGGERHEAD.

The third debut is London-based girl group FLO, who perform an acoustic version of their viral hit Cardboard Box, a song that showcases their love for honeyed harmonies and rich emotion fused with classic old-school R&B. It features on their five-track EP, The Lead, produced by British artist and producer MNEK.

Returning to the show from France is Christine and the Queens Presents Redcar, with songs from his album Redcar les adorables étoiles, a record described as an opera and one that has given him ‘crazy freedom’.

And completing the line-up is LA-born singer, actor and film producer Rita Wilson, who returns to the show with her album Rita
Wilson Now & Forever: Duets. She's joined by Jools on piano and shares vocal duties with one of her collaborators on the album – the multimillion record-selling US artist Jackson Browne.
