Princess Superstar’s resurgence since her 2007 hit ‘Perfect (Exceeder)’ soundtracked the decadent ‘Saltburn’ party scene has been the kind of second chance that few artists ever get to experience. Now at 100 million+ streams, the track rocketed back up the UK singles chart, bounded up to #16 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50, and was given a further fresh burst of life with remixes from superstar DJs David Guetta, Jax Jones and Oliver Heldens.
But the story doesn’t end there! The next moment in Princess Superstar’s remarkable comeback arrives this Saturday when she plays her first UK show in over a decade at False Idols this Saturday. Nominated for Best UK Clubbing Event at the Radio 1 Dance Awards, False Idols’ second ceremony promises to fill all corners of Drumsheds with queer joy and fierce hedonism.
Princess Superstar will play the event’s cavernous main stage X Room – The Temple on a bill headlined by fellow ‘Saltburn’ soundtrack star Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The stacked line-up is packed full of big names, also including bimini, Derrick Carter, Horsegirl, Sonique and a DJ set from Self Esteem. Final tickets for the event are available HERE.
Princess Superstar says, “I am beyond ecstatic to be back in London after 10 years away. The UK has always had my heart – and I can’t wait to rock on Saturday at Drumsheds!!”
It’s been more than 20 years since Princess Superstar since crossed over from underground favourite to mainstream sensation with the UK #11 hit ‘Bad Babysitter’. The original release of 2007’s ‘Perfect (Exceeder)’, a collab with Mason, was bigger still as it peaked at #3 – and who could’ve known back then that there was much more to come?
Princess Superstar’s larger-than-life charisma has powered through seven studio albums as well as working with The Prodigy, Moby, Grandmaster Flash, Amy Schumer and Margaret Cho – not to mention mentoring a pre-fame Lana Del Rey. Perhaps the signs were already there that she would be back in the spotlight in 2024, after Dojo Cat’s lip sync of her track ‘Famous’ received millions of views just last summer.
Princess Superstar still tours relentlessly both as an artist and DJ – you might find her anywhere from Coachella to Fuji Rock, and it certainly won’t be another decade or more before she’s back in the UK. She’ll play Warwick Castle on July 7th as special guest to Mika before returning in August for Brighton Pride’s FABULOSO event.
