Noel Gallagher, Alt-J, David Byrne added to next year’s Bilbao BBK

Noel Gallagher, Alt-J and David Byrne have been added to the line-up for next year’s Bilbao BBK festival.

Temples and Parquet Courts are two more acts who’ll be joining headliners Gorillaz and The xx at Kobetamendi, Bilbao between July 12th-14th, 2018.

Noel Gallagher is confirmed on the day of release for his third High Flying Birds album Who Built The Moon?. “Second single It’s A Beautiful World is much closer to home, but remains at the front gate thanks to a moody kraut-rock riff, a French spoken-word interlude and production values which verge on being overly polished but just about tow the line,” Live4ever’s review reads.

“She Taught Me How To Fly too is recognisably vintage Noel Gallagher album track territory, this time a dream-like vibe setting it apart, gorgeously accentuated by vocals pushed right to the front of the mix, and which are absolutely perfect for songs such as this.”

“The groove really gets going on Be Careful What You Wish For, which stands out for the departure in songwriting rather than mere production, Holmes this time able to take a back seat as Gallagher does all the work on a track which loops around a bass line and intangible backing vocals in a way he’s never attempted before.”
