The Ramona Flowers’ infectious and upbeat single Up All Night, featuring the legendary Nile Rodgers, has been included in the new NBA 2K24 game, out now. Listen to Up All Night here.
Filled with tuneful melodies, Nile’s signature guitar sound and disco beats, Up All Night has become one of the group’s most successful singles and their biggest streaming song ever, with over a million streams combined. The song charted at #25 in the top 40 New Music chart in the US, staying there for 4 weeks and had over 120 plays at alternative radio. Up All Night featured on last year’s 6-track EP, Gotta Get Home.
The band said “We are so excited to have been included on the soundtrack for NBA 2K24. The game is an iconic title within the world of gaming and Esports and we’re proud to have been made a small part of the history of the franchise. It’s slightly surreal and more than a little humbling, having grown up listening to and discovering acts through this game and others like it. They’re acts that have gone on to influence our own music and be the soundtrack to our own lives. We’d just like to thank the team at NBA 2K24 for making it all happen.”
NBA 2K24 is available to purchase on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for PC and previous years releases have been a huge success with over 134 million copies sold. NBA 2K24 is also available in four different versions, including Kobe Bryant Edition (Standard), WNBA Edition, Black Mamba Edition, and the 25th Anniversary Edition. Other artists who have been included in previous years releases include Drake, Doja Cat, Jack Harlow and Megan Thee Stallion.
The Ramona Flowers will also be heading back on the road in North America, supporting Barns Courtney on the Supernatural Tour. The band will play 11 of the dates across Canada and the United States in October and will include shows in Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Columbus, Toronto, Montreal and Boston before The Ramona Flowers wrap things up at Empire Live in Albany. Tickets are available here.
The announcement follows on from what has been an exciting and busy year for the Bristol four-piece. Their latest EP, Hey You was released earlier this year and included singles, Enter The Room and title track Hey You. They also treated fans to an additional, stand alone single Nothing More To Worry About. The carefree, uplifting song has been used in the global ad campaign for the launch of the Dyson Zone headphones, Dyson’s first wearable purifier, capturing city pollution including gas, allergens and particulate matter and cancelling unwanted noise with advanced noise cancellation and pure, high-fidelity audio.
Known for their live performances, The Ramona Flowers have spent much of 2023 touring, including the UK with Reverend and the Makers as well as a sold out run of shows across the US and EU with Circa Waves. Previously they have also had a 10-date support slot with The Libertines on their Up The Bracket 20th Anniversary tour and performed at the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix. Following support shows with Muse and Placebo at Firenze Rocks in Italy last summer, the group headlined a sold-out show at Omeara in London.
The Ramona Flowers consists of Steve Bird (vocals), Sam Dyson (guitar), Dave Betts (keyboards/guitar) and Ed Gallimore (drums).
