Peloton’s August Artist Series: Blazing Beats and a Dash of Cool

Get ready to turn up the volume because Peloton’s August Artist Series is lighting up the fitness floor with scorching rhythms and chart-topping heat. This month, the spotlight shines on the vibrant Afrobeat king Burna Boy and the undeniable dancehall icon Sean Paul. These Artist Series classes deliver the perfect soundtrack to your sweat sessions. They are so good, in fact, that this is the second time Peloton has featured them in their Artist Series Collections! To cool things down across the pond, PSL features the Britpop band Oasis and the beloved Bee Gees! Not familiar with all of these iconic artists? Let’s break it all down!

July 31 – Burna Boy: The Afrobeat Dynamo

Like a warm tropical breeze that quickly flames into a dancefloor fire, Burna Boy’s music has taken the global stage by storm. Known for his Afrobeat genre, Burna Boy’s sound is a captivating fusion of Afrobeat rhythms, dancehall vibes, and a hint of reggae. The Nigerian superstar rose to global fame in the late 2010s, earning renown for blending traditional African instruments with contemporary beats. His 2018 smash hit “Ye” became an anthem, while his introspective 2022 single “Last Last” continued his streak of global domination.

For fans of pulsating beats and heartfelt lyrics, Burna Boy is a master at making music that moves both your body and your soul. His songs are less like background noise and more like bonfires—they demand your attention and invite you to dance. He’s been featured in many Peloton rides already, not only in the Afrobeats titles but throughout rides, runs, and flows. In fact, Tunde held a Burna Boy Ride back in 2020! In addition to this, his music has been in nearly 100 classes in total.

August 7 – Oasis: At Long Last

Oasis, the iconic Britpop band known for hits like “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova,” and “Don’t Look Back in Anger,” is taking center stage next! The band, formed by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher, rose to fame in the 1990s with their anthemic sound and rebellious spirit, becoming one of the best-selling bands of all time.

August 14 – Sean Paul: The Dancehall Inferno

No conversation about party anthems is complete without Sean Paul, the Jamaican dancehall sensation who burst onto the global music scene in the early 2000s. Think of his music as a steady flame that turns into a wildfire of high-energy hooks. Tracks like “Temperature” and “Get Busy” have lit up clubs and living rooms alike, making him a household name across continents… and Peloton rooms at home! Whether you’re catching his laid-back verses or riding the beat of his explosive choruses, his music is pure fuel for the soul.

Sean Paul Class on Peloton

For Sean Paul fans, Peloton offers a standout class that brings his fiery rhythms to the fitness floor:

• LIVE August 14 @ 7:00pm ET – 30 min Sean Paul Ride with Camila Ramón

This ride will blend the heat of his dancehall beats with an intense cycling workout that we expect Camila to deliver. Sweat it out to “Temperature” while keeping your own intensity levels blazing.

Sean Paul’s music has also been featured in nearly 100 Peloton classes already, including these previous classes (above)  dedicated to his beats.

August 21 Brings the Bee Gees

Leanne and Jon celebrate the legendary disco icons,  The Bee Gees, over at PSL in August. Composed of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb, this band is renowned for their timeless hits like “Stayin’ Alive,” “How Deep Is Your Love,” and “Night Fever,” which defined the disco era of the 1970s. With over 220 million records sold worldwide, their influence spans decades, shaping pop, R&B, and dance music. Their legacy as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and cultural icons continues to inspire generations.
