Jon Allen & The Luna Kings

With a distinctive gravel-edged voice and a focus on well-crafted songwriting, Jon Allen sits somewhere between British classic rock and contemporary folk.

He’s built a global audience over the years, with more than 40 million streams across platforms. His latest album, Seven Dials (Warner Chappell), draws on the underworld of 18th-century London, pairing detailed storytelling with textured, atmospheric arrangements.

Performing with his four-piece band, The Luna Kings, Jon’s live shows are rooted in guitar-led arrangements, taking cues from ’70s rock while keeping a modern, song-focused approach.

His debut album, Dead Man’s Suit, received strong critical support and led to an appearance on BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland. Since then, his music has featured across film, television, and advertising, alongside regular festival appearances including Glastonbury.

Jon studied at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, where he had the opportunity to collaborate on songwriting with Paul McCartney. It was also where he met the core members of The Luna Kings, including guitarist Randall Breneman and drummer Craig Connet. Although the band parted ways early on, they later reconnected, bringing a more grounded dynamic to their work together.

Today, their live performances are defined by musical chemistry, individual flair, and a shared passion that brings Jon Allen’s songs vividly to life.
