Mercury Prize nominated Faithless have seven top 10 singles and six top 10 albums (three at number one), resulting in more than 15 million sales worldwide. With a history stretching back 25 years, Faithless marry elements of house, trip-hop, dub and a songwriting flar into arena-filling, explosive dance floor classics.

The additions bring global superstar Hannah Wants to the Y Not line-up. An acclaimed producer with more than ten years professional DJ experience, her musical upbringing of UK garage, speed garage, 4x4 and bassline house evolved into her now house-focused sound.
