Sam Ryder to Headline Barton Live

Get ready to join Sam Ryder as he headline’s Barton LIVE on Sunday, 28th July.

Most overnight successes will tell you they actually spent years laying musical foundations before the planets aligned and household name status beckoned. That’s certainly true for singer, songwriter and newly-anointed household name of the United Kingdom Sam Ryder, but it’s also true that one night in particular did prove pivotal to Sam: May 14 2022, when he took to the stage at Turin’s PalaOlimpico and blew the socks off roughly 161 million viewers.

After a whirlwind couple of years and immense triumph, 2023 cemented the singersongwriter at his peak. Kicking off 2023’s festive season, Sam shared a brand new Amazon original track ‘You’re Christmas To Me’, that ended up battling with Wham!’s ‘Last Christmas’ for the Christmas no.1, the track ended up peaking at #2. This extraordinary artist’s journey promises to take some exciting twists and turns as the world witnesses the full extent of Sam Ryder’s talent. “I don't give up at something when I’ve put my mind to it,” he smiles. “Whether it’s music, or any other aspect of my life, I’ll always strive to find the joy and the happiness.”

His debut album 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!’ is a catalogue of infectious pop energy that soared to the number 1 spot in 2022 becoming the first solo artist to debut at number 1 with their debut record since Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour. Having received his first ever BRIT Award nomination for Breakthrough artist and closing out the BRIT Awards 2023.

Since SPACE MAN gave the United Kingdom its best Eurovision result since 1998 and the highest-charting UK Eurovision entry in over quarter of a century, Sam has since soundtracked many of the pivotal moments in entertainment of recent years from Eurovision to the Queen’s Jubilee, Wembley Stadium, the Formula 1 Grand Prix at Silverstone and the National Television Awards and Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball. Sam also received his first ever Emmy nomination for the Ted Lasso original song ‘Fought & Lost’ which he also performed alongside actress and singer Hannah Waddingham in front of an audience at the GRAMMY Museum. The song features in the penultimate episode of “Ted Lasso” season 3, “Mom City” and was co-written with Tom Howe, Jamie Hartman and Ryder.
