Bouncing onto a packed-out BBC Radio 1 Dance Stage, Piri & Tommy gave us an energy-fuelled dance party to remember.

The Manchester duo burst onto the scene when their iconic drum and bass track ‘soft spot’ went viral on TikTok. Since then, they’ve skyrocketed into stardom, with the song amassing over 12 million streams.

Sophie McBurnie (aka Piri) is the brains behind the lyrics, and producer Tommy Villiers is in charge of the beats and rhythm. They’re the perfect match, with each track on their setlist today combining old school dance sounds and garage beats, with feel-good singalong choruses. With beach balls flying and the crowd jumping, their music is the perfect backdrop to an exciting first day at the festival.

The pair draw their influences from an eclectic range of genres. The jangly guitar intro on ‘Beachin’’, shows they can do it all. Other highlights included latest single ‘On&On’ (released July), iconic banger ‘words’ and infamous track ‘soft spot.’ Each song had the crowd shouting back the lyrics at the pair, to their amazement.

With lots of unreleased music on its way, we’re excited to see where these two end up.
