A rising soul singer-songwriter – likened to Nina Simone by Elton John and tipped as one of the hottest acts of 2026 – is joining the lineup at TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall this summer.
Nectar Woode will join multi-platinum selling indie pop band Bastille for their headline date at the historic courtyard venue on Friday August 28.
Final tickets are available at ticketmaster.co.uk
British-Ghanaian star Nectar Woode’s music – described as a vivid tapestry of neo-soul, folk, jazz, gospel and raw, diaristic songwriting – has found her listeners across the world.
Her most recent single, the soulful and reflective Stick Fight followed last summer’s EP It’s Like I Never Left. Nectar toured with Joy Crookes in the autumn and joined Bastille and The National’s Matt Berninger at the Royal Albert Hall for Streets of London’s Starry Night Charity Concert in December.
She has also supported the likes of Nao, Norah Jones, Leon Bridges and The Teskey Brothers, with her reputation as a live performer growing at pace. Whether commanding an intimate stage or captivating festival audiences, Nectar’s shows brim with emotional precision and natural charisma.
And Nectar is highly praised, with Elton John comparing her to Nina Simone when he featured her on his Rocket Hour music show, and last month she was named on Ticketmaster’s Fresh List for 2026 tipping the hottest new acts lighting up stages this year.
Bastille’s headlining show is part of a record summer lineup for TK Maxx presents Live at The Piece Hall featuring the likes of Amy MacDonald, Ethel Cain, Royel Otis, Bowling For Soul and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Alex James’ Britpop Classical, Public Service Broadcasting and many more.
