Confidence Man are our Live Act Award winners at the Rolling Stone UK Awards 2024

After bringing the party to festivals around the world this year, it's only right to toast Janet Planet and Sugar Bones

By Nick Reilly

Confidence Man have won the Live Act Award, supported by Connect Live, at the second Rolling Stone UK Awards.

The duo, who are also set to perform at the ceremony later this evening, beat Barry Can’t Swim, Dua Lipa, High Vis, Little Simz and Sugababes to pick up the coveted gong.

Accepting the award from Bimini, the duo’s Sugar Bones – said: “We have good news, [bandmate] Reggie Goodchild has been released on bail, and he’ll be here for the performance later.”

Janet added: “And without further ado…” before she and her bandmate kissed and jumped offstage.

The second Rolling Stone UK Awards kicked off earlier tonight with a performance from Leeds band English Teacher, who stunned attendees with a powerful rendition of ‘You Blister My Paint’ taken from their Mercury Prize winning debut This Could Be Texas. This was followed by JADE’s stunning, stripped back rendition of ‘Angel Of My Dreams’.
