The xx live in Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
The record-breaking residency at London’s Brixton Academy back in March which eventually blossomed into a multimedia event dubbed Night + Day for The xx is to move up to Iceland this summer.
As well as opportunities to catch The xx and the band’s Jamie xx in concert, this Iceland leg will also take in appearances from Kamasi Washington, Earl Sweatshirt, Warpaint, Sampha, Robyn & Mr. Tophat (DJ set), Jagwar Ma, Floating Points (DJ set), Högni, Bjarki, Gilles Peterson, JFDR, Benji B, Hunee, Mr. Silla, Gangly, Kelsey Lu, Marching Church, Kria Brekkan and Avalon Emerson between July 14th-16th.
This time it’ll be a full on camping festival, tickets priced at €169 for three-day general admission.
The xx’s I See You touring is currently in North America and continues with a gig in Austin, Texas tonight. The band are due to remain there until May 26th when the final date is booked at Thompson’s Point in Portland, ME.
