Maximo Park‘s frontman Paul Smith believes the nature of the band’s summer festival plans are resting on how their new album ‘Too Much Information‘ fares with the record-buying public.
“I think people often wait to see how your album does,” Smith told XFM when asked about the upcoming festival season. “It’s all very industry, which is stuff we don’t even deal with, even though we obviously put records out and we want people to buy them and come to our shows in their droves. You kind of wonder.”
‘Too Much Information’ was released this week and, according to the official UK midweek chart update, is heading for a place inside the Top 10 when the final rundown is announced on Sunday (February 9th).
“A lot of things are on the cards, I can reveal that,” Smith continued. “People are wondering if we’re going to go down the dumper, down into the bargain bins and if we do you won’t see us at as many festivals but we’re quietly confident and I think you’ll see us up and down the country over the summer period, definitely.”
