Michael Ball and Alfie Boe first crossed paths in 2007 while both were starring in *Kismet* at the London Coliseum. Their first collaborative performance took place during two BBC Proms concerts in the summer of that same year. Their album *Together* was recorded in New York City and Prague, featuring the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Reflecting on the project, Ball shared: "We approached the album with the idea of playing to our strengths and exploring songs we love, giving them a fresh presentation. Some tracks we've performed as solo artists, but I find singing them with Alfie adds a special, unexpected element that truly moves me."

Primal Scream are a British rock band originally formed in Glasgow by Bobby Gillespie and Jim Beattie in 1982. Primal Scream's lineup consists of:

Gillespie

Andrew Innes (guitar)

Martin Duffy (keyboards)

Simone Butler (bass)

Darrin Mooney (drums).

Barrie Cadogan has toured and recorded with the band since 2006 as a replacement after the departure of guitarist Robert Young.

The band had been performing live betweem 1982 and 1984, but their career did not take off until Gillespie left his position as drummer of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Primal Scream were a key part of the mid-1980s indie pop scene, but eventually moved away from their jangly sound, taking on more psychedelic and garage rock influences, before incorporating a dance music element to their sound with their 1991 album Screamadelica, which broke them into the mainstream. Their latest album Chaosmosis was released on 18 March 2016.

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds – The New Generation is a 2012 concept album by Jeff Wayne and is a re-imagining of his 1978 concept album, retelling the story of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells. As previously, the music format is predominantly progressive rock and string orchestra, but with synthesizers playing a more prominent role. The music is intermixed with re-voiced narration and leitmotifs to carry the story forward via rhyming melodic lyrics that express the feelings of the various characters.

Due to the consistent popularity of the original album, Wayne decided to return to his score and re-create it for a new generation of audiences, as well as re-launch a live tour throughout the United Kingdom and Europe.
