The "Broken Heart Tour" is sponsored by Chex Mix and the brand will partner with Rixton on an upcoming "Sound Chex" video content series to capture some behind the scene moments of the band between tour stops. The tour finds Rixton hitting major cities across the U.S., including New York City and Los Angeles, with special guest, rising artist T.

Rixton has also been nominated for a Teen Choice Award for "Choice Music Group" and will perform on the show, which airs live on August 10(th) on FOX at 8/7c.

In March, Rixton released their Me And My Broken Heart EP featuring their buzzworthy single of the same title, which is No 1 on the U.K. Singles Chart. It has sold more than 750,000 downloads and cracked the Top 10 at Top 40 radio in the U.S., while climbing to the Top 5 at Hot AC, and impacting Rhythmic, and AC. "Me And My Broken Heart" also ranks as a No. 1 Most Shazam-ed new track in the U.S., while the official video, directed by Cameron Duddy, has racked up over 13 million views on YouTube/VEVO. Rixton have delivered killer performances on The Voice, Ellen, and The TODAY Show.

Hailing from Manchester, Rixton are Jake Roche, (vocals/rhythm guitar), Danny Wilkin (bass/keys), Charley Bagnall (lead guitar), and Lewi Morgan, (drums). Jake and Danny began writing together four years ago in Danny's parents caravan. Three years later they were introduced to Charley through mutual friends and a year later stumbled upon Lewi in a back alley of a Manchester pub (playing pots and pans) and asked him to join the band. Inspired by the soulful pop sounds of Maroon 5 and Bruno Mars, Rixton offer up a wealth of addictive pop/rock/R&B built on their own brand of songwriting, instrumentation, and vocal harmonies. The band has been steadily gaining a large YouTube following from their reimagined covers of tracks including Taylor Swift's "Trouble,"Rita Ora's "How We Do (Party),"Chris Brown's "Don't Wake Me Up," and R. Kelly's "Ignition," eventually catching the ear of talent manager Scooter Braun.
