The Lottery Winners, a number one selling band with two members from Lowton, have announced they’ll be setting up shop in Leigh to celebrate the official release of their new album, KOKO.
The band’s singer/bassist Katie Lloyd and drummer Joe Singleton both hail from Lowton, whilst the other members, Thom Rylance (vocals/guitar) and Rob Lally (guitar/vocals) are from Astley and Tyldesley.
In May, 2023, their album Anxiety Replacement Therapy shot to number one in the UK album charts. And they’ve built such a name for themselves that they were personally chosen by Robbie Williams to support him on his five month UK and European stadium tour this summer. Wow!
New album KOKO comes out on Friday, 21 March 2025, and the band are hoping they can top the charts once again.
And, staying true to their local roots, they’ve decided to open a pop-up shop in Leigh, at the Spinners Mill, during the week of the album’s release, from Friday 21 to Thursday 27 March.
Not only will the shop give people the chance to get their hands on a copy of KOKO, it will also be hosting free live music each day with a full line-up of local bands and artists (with some big names expected, too). And of course, there’ll be performances from The Lottery Winners themselves and a chance to say hello to the band, before they head out on tour with Robbie.
The Lottery Winners are heading out on tour with Robbie Williams.
The band said: “We’re so excited to finally share our new album KOKO with everyone and we can’t wait to celebrate it in our hometown of Leigh.
“The last album is the only ever UK number one album from Leigh, and we really want to do it again, for Leigh!”
