Maximo Park will headline Camden Rocks 2018, but it’s Public Image Ltd. who organiser Chris McCormack is particularly delighted to have secured for the event.
“I’ve been trying to book Public Image Limited for years so it’s great to finally have them playing Camden Rocks this year,” he says. “John Lydon and the Sex Pistols are the reason i got into music, easily the biggest influence personally and i’m sure for a lot of bands playing the festival. Public Image Limited at the Electric Ballroom on their 40th anniversary is going to be incredible.”
“As always, the festival is as much about the emerging talent out there as it is the more established bands so get down early to catch some of these great new artists before they go supernova.”
Among the others bands who’ll be playing across various venues in Camden Town on June 2nd are Twin Atlantic, Asylums and BlackWaters.
