Three great new artists for 2019 played a special gig at The Garage, showcasing some of Radio X's hotly tipped acts for the new year.

Tuesday 29 January saw Radio X present three of the UK's most exciting new artists at our Great X-Pectations LIVE event.

Jade Bird, Ten Tonnes and Yonaka all featured in the show, which was hosted by Radio X's John Kennedy and took place at London's The Garage - an iconic venue which has played host to the likes of The Killers, The Libertines, Arctic Monkeys and many more.

Each introduced by the X-Posure presenter and “the most trusted man in music," all three artists - who feature in Radio X’s Great X-Pectations of 2019 - proved why they're among some of the best acts tipped for great things this year.

First to take to the stage at the famous north London venue were Yonaka, Brighton's exciting four-piece who offered up some of the best takes from their Teach Me To Fight, Heavy and Creatures EPs.

The Theresa Jarvis- fronted band kicked-off proceedings with Own Worst Enemy, before playing Ignorance, Waves and a distinctive cover of Zombies' She's Not There.

Pleasing the crowd with their infectious Creatures from the EP of the same name, Yonaka capped-off their eight-song set with their Fired Up track, followed by the defiant F.W.T.B.

Ten Tonnes - whose real name is Ethan Barnett - was the next artist to take to the stage, playing tracks from his Lucy and Born To Lose EPs.

Ten Tonnes, whose debut album is set for release on 5 April 2019, kicked-off his set with Born To Lose, playing former Radio X Record Of The Week Better Than Me and ending on fan favourite Lucy, which was proceeded by his infectious penultimate single G.I.V.E.

Jade Bird was the last emerging artist to take to the stage, opening up her set with Cathedral track from her Something American EP.

The 21-year-old singer-songwriter showed-off her unique brand of indie Americana, playing absolute belters in Lottery, Side Effects, and current Radio X Record of the Week I Get No Joy - which is set to feature on her upcoming self-titled debut.

After performing a cover of The Bangles' Walk Like An Egyptian, Bird played her electric Love Has All Been Done Before track, before ending her set with Going Gone.
