An essential voice in 2025, Jim’s prolific output forever tells an important story. His songwriting holds a mirror up to the Black British experience – one shared by himself and his peers. Standing proudly but humbly at the forefront of a new generation of storytellers and sonic pioneers, he champions complexity, sensitivity and experimentation, creating space for new voices emerging out of the underground. With “black british music” (2025), Legxacy doesn’t just reshape what UK music can sound like, but what it can stand for.

A musical shape-shifter, Legxacy is an artist with an internet’s worth of influences, ‘new david bowie’ draws on a warped harpsichord as the baroque sits next to Dungeons and Dragons references; ‘wayne rooney 06’ sees Legxacy breeze into indie-rock with supreme confidence, as an artist who famously cites Mitski as a major influence. Countering crowd-igniting cuts like ‘i just banged a snus in canada water’, there also is a radical vulnerability woven throughout “black british music”. Its narrative details an extraordinary story, charting the loss of his sister and grappling with the whiplash of being homeless to becoming one of the artists defining the UK landscape today. Don’t miss one of the most vital UK artists of the current day in Slottsskogen this summer!

Jim Legxacy will perform in Slottsskogen on Saturday August 15th
