Live music is making a welcome comeback to our TV screens thanks to ITV’s new ‘ITV Studio Sessions’ in partnership with Priority from O2 and Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios.
With the aim of championing top talent and new artists from the UK, the six-part series will deliver an intimate experience for viewers led by Clara Amfo. Artists involved in the series include Becky Hill, Cat Burns, Jess Glynne, Tom Walker, YUNGBLUD and Sekou, who will perform new music, old favourites and one-of-a-kind covers allowing audiences to enjoy the artists in a whole new light.
The six artists will take the stage in front of an audience of Priority members in O2 Blueroom which resides inside the UK’s most iconic music venue, The O2. Audiences will also get to discover the stories that inspired the artists’ work as Clara will interview the artist between songs, finding out how their tracks have had an impact on their lives and what we can expect next.
Host Clara Amfo said: “I am thrilled to be part of something brand new on ITV with Studio Sessions as I wholly believe that music performance on television is still such a treat for artists to do and for their fans to enjoy. As the host and consultant producer, I’m truly looking forward to having rooted conversations with our guests, so that audiences can learn something new about them and of course see them celebrate their most beloved and new songs!”
Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment Commissioning ITV said: “ITV Studio Sessions offers the perfect mix of music and insightful conversation, and I am delighted about this exciting new series starting this May. Clara is a dynamic presenter and has interviewed the biggest names in music and entertainment, making her the perfect host.”
All of the episodes will be available to watch on ITVX from Friday 3rd May 2024 and will be exclusively broadcast on ITV1 every Friday night at 10.45pm.
