A New Chapter for John Newman: SIX40TWO Is Coming to Beats for Love Winter 2026!
John Newman is one of the most distinctive British voices of the past decade. The British singer, songwriter and producer has made his mark on millions of listeners not only with his unmistakable vocals, but also with numerous global hits that have dominated radio stations and charts around the world. He has three UK No.1 singles to his name, nominations for the BRIT Awards and the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards, while his debut album achieved platinum status.
Fans will instantly recognise his voice from the massive hit “Love Me Again”, which became one of his signature tracks and brought him international recognition. He also made a major impact through his collaborations with Rudimental on “Feel the Love” and “Not Giving In”, as well as with Calvin Harris, with whom he created the hugely successful single “Blame” and later “Olé”. His ability to combine soulful vocals, emotional songwriting and contemporary electronic production has become one of the defining features of his sound.
After years of an intense career, Newman decided to step away from the music industry for a while and rediscover the creative freedom he had when he first started making music. The result is his new project SIX40TWO, whose name refers to the time his daughter was born. Rather than leaving his previous sound behind, the project represents a return to his roots and to the dance music that has been part of his musical journey from the very beginning.
With SIX40TWO, Newman combines his soul and gospel roots with club-focused electronic music, as heard in his first singles “Something in the Water” and “What Would I Do”, which blend raw emotion with an uplifting, euphoric house sound. Newman’s unmistakable voice remains at the heart of the project, giving SIX40TWO a clear and instantly recognisable identity.
With SIX40TWO, John Newman has also returned to major festival stages. He has performed at Tomorrowland in Belgium and Brazil, Creamfields Chile, EXIT Festival and Electric Love Festival, bringing together the experience of a globally successful singer with the energy of electronic dance music.
At Beats for Love Winter 2026, John Newman will bring his new musical chapter to the stage, where his unmistakable voice meets the energy of the dancefloor. Expect a show packed with powerful emotions, standout vocals and club energy, presenting one of Britain’s most celebrated music personalities in an entirely new form.
