Since forming in 1997, Toploader has amassed over two million album sales and a multitude of top 20 hits both home and abroad, as well as receiving strong support and praise from both the press and the likes of BBC Radio 2. Their debut album ‘Onka’s Big Moka,‘ sold over one million copies and remained in the Top 5 of the UK album chart for over six months earning them 4 Brit Award nominations. Their second album, ‘Magic Hotel’, reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart, and the band then embarked on the biggest tour of their careers, which saw them playing to over 100,000 people in the UK alone, cementing them as a must-see live act.

Perhaps best known for their global hit ‘Dancing in the Moonlight’, the track made Toploader into the household name they are today. In 2013 the same track re-entered the Top 40 for three weekends and topped the 10,000,000 hits mark on Youtube, an incredible thirteen years after it was first released, cementing it as one of the biggest songs of recent times.

After years of shows and touring, the band has earned their reputation as a genuine crowd-pleasing live band. Toploader have backed the likes of Paul Weller, Robbie Williams, Noel Gallagher, Tom Jones, Simple Minds and Bon Jovi, where they became the last British band to play the original Wembley Stadium.

With a host of festival appearances across the UK and Europe throughout the Summer, their appearance in Docks Academy this autumn will see the band in finessed form as they celebrate a landmark quarter-century anniversary of Toploader.
