HASKELL (UK) | Prince Bandroom - July 26th

James Haskell’s evolution from international rugby icon to tech-house tastemaker is anything but ordinary. Known for earning 77 caps for England and representing the British and Irish Lions, James has since swapped stadiums for stages—spinning high-energy sets at global hotspots from Ibiza to Dubai and supporting legends like Carl Cox along the way.

A true student of the genre, Haskell’s sound blends groove-heavy minimalism with the driving pulse of tech-house, weaving between deep cuts and euphoric crowd-pleasers with percussive precision and a touch of peak-time edge.

Since retiring from rugby in 2019, James has carved out a multi-faceted career that spans DJing, broadcasting, comedy, and authorship. He co-hosts The Good, The Bad and The Rugby—one of the biggest sports podcasts in the world with 150K weekly listeners—alongside his monthly house music show Backrow Radio and his newest project Amuse Douche, chronicling his journey into stand-up comedy.

A familiar face on British TV, Haskell’s appearances include I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, A League of Their Own, The Chase, and Question of Sport.

As an author, he’s a Sunday Times Top 10 bestseller with hit titles like What A Flanker, Ruck Me, and Approach Without Caution—a bold guide to modern life. Add to that his bestselling fitness books (Perfect Fit, Cooking for Fitness, Rugby Fit), and you’ve got a modern renaissance man who’s just as comfortable behind the decks as he was on the pitch.
