Toploader, an English rock band originating from Eastbourne, East Sussex, formed in 1997. The band’s early career involved performing with groups like Coldplay and Muse in smaller venues across the UK. They subsequently provided support for established artists such as Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Tom Jones, Robbie Williams, and Simple Minds. A notable early milestone was their performance with Bon Jovi at the original Wembley Stadium on July 20, 2000, which marked them as the last British band to play at the venue before its demolition. This period of active touring and supporting well-known acts helped establish their presence in the music scene before their major commercial breakthrough.
The band’s debut album, ‘Onka’s Big Moka,’ released on May 22, 2000, garnered substantial commercial success, selling over one million copies. It remained in the top five of the UK album chart for more than six months and earned four Brit Award nominations in 2001. Their single ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’ became a global hit in 2000, spending over a year in European Airplay Charts and transforming Toploader into a recognized name. The song re-entered the Top 40 in 2013 and accumulated over 10 million views on YouTube, underscoring its lasting popularity. Their second album, ‘Magic Hotel,’ released in 2002, reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, leading to a large-scale tour playing to over 100,000 people across the UK.
After a period of inactivity and an initial breakup in 2003 following a mixed reception to their second album, Toploader reformed in 2009 with three of its original members: Joseph Washbourn, Dan Hipgrave, and Rob Green. They continued to release new music, including the singles ‘Turn It Around’ (2013) co-written with Eg White, and ‘This Is The Night’ (2013), which achieved a No.1 position on the Radio 2 Airplay Charts. Their fourth album, ‘Seeing Stars,’ was released in 2017. Toploader has consistently maintained a reputation as a strong live act, performing at major festivals such as Glastonbury, V-Festival, T In The Park, and Chris Evans’s CarFest. They have also appeared on television, notably on ‘Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway’ in 2023, and continue to tour, including supporting James Blunt in 2025.
