Rak-Su are an English R&B/hip hop boy band who won the 14th series of the X Factor in 2017.

The group is made up of Ashley Fongho, Jamaal Shurland, Mustafa Rahimtulla and Myles Stephenson.

Their debut single, Dimelo, featured Naughty Boy and Wyclef Jean and its release marked the first time a winner's single was written by the act.

Rak-Su aren’t Little Mix’s only Summer Hits support act - the global girl group will also be joined on the bill by Australian sister group Germein.

Sisters Georgia, Ella and Clara are hoping to make their mark in the UK. They cite Haim and Chvrches as inspirations but keep a firm hand on pop sensibilities.
