The Lottery Winners are celebrating the news that they’ll be supporting the iconic Robbie Williams on his massive EU and UK stadium / arena tour in 2025 with a brand new single, ‘UFO’ the latest to be released from their upcoming new album KOKO out 21st February 2025 on Modern Sky. Listen here.
The opportunity to support Robbie has come about in a way that is serendipitous, fortuitous, and so very Lottery Winners.
Their recent hit single ‘You Again’ featuring Reverend & The Makers’ Jon McClure (with its lyrics about a song coming on the radio and catching you off guard) made the BBC Radio 2 A-List, bringing them to the attention of Robbie who instantly got in touch via Instagram to praise it, having been tuning in.
Frontman Thom Rylance explains: “He heard a tune and reached out and we bonded. Making each other laugh, and discussing life with ADHD. Now, we have pillow talk almost nightly on FaceTime.
He’s become a friend and a mentor. He’s always been one of my idols. Just an incredible command of an audience. The first song I ever sang in public was at primary school – it was Robbie’s hit ‘Strong’. I remember being really nervous before but loving doing it.
This tour means so much to us. It’s absolutely massive – look at the venues! We’re going to throw everything we have at it and it’s going to turn us into superstars in our own right. We’re very grateful to Robbie for the opportunity.”
Lottery Winners will be supporting Robbie at huge venues including the Emirates Stadium in London, Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, Bath’s Royal Crescent, and the Co-Op Arena in Manchester.
To mark this, they share their new single ‘UFO’, which details the experience of feeling like an outsider by Thom, but also the catharsis of music and achieving acceptance on stage.
