“I can remember once, we played at a little place in Manchester - before Education, Education, Education & War came out – and we hadn’t done a show in a while and I can remember being in the bathroom, looking in the mirror and thinking to myself ‘Is it gonna happen? Is it still in there? Is it still, like, in my ability to do this?’ And then you walk out on stage and it all comes back to you.”

Who will be the support act?

The Sherlocks will open for the bands each night, completing a star-studded line-up. The Sheffield formed quartet have swiftly grown to become one of the UK’s most exciting live bands.
