We’re excited to announce that music from Balancing Act has recently been added to our global in-venue music network, introducing one of the UK’s fastest-rising alternative bands to audiences across venues worldwide.

Originally formed by Kai Roberts and Jackson Couzens after relocating from Manchester to London, Balancing Act have quickly established themselves as one of the most talked-about names in the new wave of British indie and alternative rock. Joined by David Carpenter and Patrick Hanbury, the band has built a reputation for emotionally charged songwriting, cinematic production and explosive live performances that continue to resonate with audiences across the UK and Europe.

Following the release of their debut EP Malice in Tone and the critically praised Tightropes and Limericks, Balancing Act have gained significant momentum through support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, Dork Magazine, DIY and Jack Saunders’ “Future Artists” platform. Their evolving sound, self-described as “dark, sexy and sick” blends atmospheric indie rock with expansive alternative textures, creating music that feels both intimate and arena-ready at the same time. 

What makes Balancing Act especially impactful within in-venue environments is their ability to create mood and energy simultaneously. Their catalogue combines cinematic depth with modern indie intensity, making tracks ideal for hospitality, premium retail, social venues and experiential spaces seeking a more contemporary and emotionally immersive soundtrack. Songs such as “Cheshire Smile,” “AWOL,” and material from Who’ve You Come As deliver a balance of atmosphere, movement and identity that naturally elevates the customer experience. 

As part of our continued commitment to supporting emerging global talent, we are proud to feature Balancing Act across our international venue network. Their music now forms part of curated soundtracks heard daily across venues around the world, helping shape memorable environments and introduce exciting new artists to wider audiences.

Balancing Act represent a new generation of alternative music: emotionally intelligent, creatively ambitious and globally relevant. We’re proud to support their journey and look forward to seeing their continued rise on the international stage.
