Angel and Reece of Angels n' Bandits performed four songs at the opening ceremony; two originals and two covers. The crowds lapped up the energy and style. Their original ‘Bruises’, was written for a bullying campaign in 2018. Positive messages were everywhere and the atmosphere was upbeat and accepting.
Angels n’ Bandits were created by the team behind The Saturdays and The Wanted. Angel grew up as a little sister to the boy group The Wanted, experiencing the pop star lifestyle from a young age. Reece came to the lifestyle a little later in life but both are still only seventeen and eighteen years old. They have also performed at the Cavern Club, where the Beatles once performed, the O2, Hyde Park, and Glastonbury Festival.
They haven’t let the last few years slow them down. Performances include several online shows such as ‘Wellies and Wristbands’ and they grew a large TikTok following of sixty thousand. The band have YouTube and Instagram accounts where they post vlogs from their shows. Follow them to see behind the scenes.
Band member Reece was proud to tell us that he used to be a Scout. Reece’s must haves when camping is a barbeque and Angel’s is her Ugg boots. Activities they thought would be really fun were the zorbing balls and the craft area. And importantly, if they were a chocolate bar Reece would be a Hershey’s bar and Angel would be a Daim bar.
