Jones capped off his phenomenal year with the exciting announcement of his forthcoming 2024 EP Midnight Snacks. This marks a thrilling evolution from his pop-centric Snacks collection to a dedicated focus on club-centric creations. The first single from this project, Forever featuring Irish producer/DJ Robbie G has already entered Ireland’s Top 10 Shazam and Soundcloud charts and captured hearts with its unapologetic celebration and infectious beats.

And now, with “Never Be Lonely” from his Snacks repertoire, Jax Jones invites you to join him on his journey with Zoe Wees and Pikachu; the first of a series of hits in 2024.
