THE VINTAGE EXPLOSION

Supported by Alan Power & The Aftershocks

The Vintage Explosion, aka singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Will Hitchell, ignited the global stage in late 2022 when his soul-soaked rendition of Sam Cooke’s A Change Is Gonna Come went viral amassing over 1 billion views and impressions across TikTok, Facebook, and beyond.

What followed has been nothing short of explosive.

This powerhouse Scottish artist and his band have rocketed up the charts with four No.1 albums on the Worldwide Apple Blues Chart, a No.3 spot on the overall Worldwide Apple Album Chart nestled between Taylor Swift and Arctic Monkeys and major placements including the US Billboard Blues Top 10 and the Official UK Top 40.

Their ferocious live energy has fuelled a sold-out 14-date UK & Ireland tour, a standout debut on ITV’s This Morning, and BBC’s Big Birthday Bash.

Debut album of ten self-penned modern classics ‘Havin’ Such a Good Time’, shot straight to No.1 on the Apple Blues Chart.

Featuring the hit singles Don’t Knock Upon My Door and Take My Troubles Away the album was hailed by Vintage Rock Magazine as “a stunning debut, pinballing across genres.”

Their live reputation continues to soar, with 2500-seat venues selling out months in advance.

Their recent single ‘I Can’t Get Enough of Lovin’ You’ hit No.1 on the Apple Soul Chart (June 2025), while Hitchell captured top honours at the International Songwriting Competition, beating over 14,000 global entries with his ballad ‘Sweet Love’.

The latest album Saturday Night keeps the momentum blazing, topping Apple Blues Charts around the world as the band continue their 2025 UK & Ireland tour.

The Vintage Explosion were named Band of the Year 2025 at the prestigious Boisdale Xerjoff Music Awards in London presented by the legendary Jools Holland.

As they continue their meteoric rise, The Vintage Explosion aren’t just reviving the golden age of music, they’re rewriting it for a new generation.

“This guy… The Vintage Explosion, is the best white soul singer I’ve ever heard.” Sir Rod Stewart

“WOW!! Absolutely blown away… The singer comes off as good as any of the greats!” Paul Stanley, KISS
