Metronomy and Kodaline have joined Alt-J and headliners Muse on the line-up for next year’s NOS Alive Festival, which will be held in Portugal between July 9th-11th.
The event, which we used to know as Optimus Alive, is due to take place in Lisbon and will give Metronomy another opportunity to present their ‘Love Letters‘ album on the festival stage, which debuted at #7 in the UK when it was released in March.
“In amongst all the critical and commercial bouquets that Metronomy‘s last album ‘The English Riviera‘ earned, (headlines: Mercury Nomination, more than 100,000 copies shifted) it became hard to remember the band had been a very much a cult proposition up until its 2011 release,” our review starts.
“In the beginning, music under the name had been largely the work of frontman Joseph Mount, mostly too left field to swim with the late noughties tide of vintage synth-prodding haircuts.”
