Luton’s own Amari Fontaine and his CTRL bandmates are hitting the global stage, opening for Justin Timberlake this July in Chelmsford and Lytham. CTRL’s debut performance will showcase their dynamic stagecraft, synchronised street dance, and modern twist on the boyband formula. Amari is Luton born and raised, and attended Lea Manor High School and The Chalkhills Academy. At 19 years old, he is pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming a pop sensation.

CTRL have captivated fans across the UK following a schools tour, showcasing their bold visuals and magnetic energy — blending classic boyband charisma with a modern, streetwise edge. This marks a major milestone for the group as they take the leap from viral success to live stage supremacy.

The band is now ready to bring that same energy to the stage - backed by tight choreography, and undeniable chemistry, CTRL are prepared to prove they’re more than just a digital phenomenon. Signed to Universal Music’s Island Records, they have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to complete their EP, whilst preparing for their debut this summer.
