About this Event
Full line-up TBA
Tara Lily voice / Miles Pillinger drums
Growing up in Peckham as part of a British Bengali family has given Tara Lily a highly personal perspective on music and global culture. She has spent her life absorbing a multitude of sounds and genres from her surroundings, from electronica to jazz, RnB and traditional Bengali folk music.
From training on piano and voice at Trinity Laban Conservatoire to learning Indian classical music, the resulting blend of sounds, and her deep understanding of the worlds from which they originate, has caught the attention of tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Iggy Pop, Jamie Cullum and Motown Records UK, who signed Tara as their first British artist.
Tara is a musical anomaly: a formidable talent who celebrates strength and power in her music. 2025 saw her joining King Krule on stage at the Apollo Theatre, supporting RAYE at the Royal Albert Hall and touring extensively around Asia, with a standout performance on the main stage at Sunsplash Goa.
With shows at Glastonbury, We Out Here, and Wilderness behind her, Tara toured North America supporting British-Indian singer-songwriter Dhruv, notably at Irving Palace, New York and The Fonda Theatre, Los Angeles; she brings her group to Band on the Wall for this matinee show, her mjf debut.
