Jools welcomes the return of two iconic British bands. The first are Suede, who perform two songs from their ninth studio album Autofiction, which frontman Brett Anderson describes as 'a primal howl of a record'. Brett also chats to Jools and reminisces over their first performance on the show in 1993.\n\nThe second returning band are synth-pop group Hot Chip, who have a couple of tracks from their eighth studio album Freakout/Release, which includes dancefloor bangers, blissful pop, gorgeous introspection and an excursion into political rage.\n\nAlso returning to the show, this time as a as a solo artist, is Bristol's Billy Nomates, who first performed on the show with Nottingham duo Sleaford Mods but returns with a number from her second solo album, CACTI.\n\nThe line-up is completed with two debuts. The first is South African cellist, composer and singer Abel Selaocoe, who performed at the BBC Proms in 2021 and has released his debut album Where is Home? (Hae Ke Kae), and the second debut comes from Debbie, a rising star from south London who performs her single Cherry Wine, having just been signed to dynamic London label 0207 Def Jam.
