Shame, Slaves and The Vaccines are among the new names confirmed for Reading & Leeds today.
They join headliners Fall Out Boy, Kendrick Lamar and Kings Of Leon at the twin events this coming August Bank Holiday weekend.
Shame will be on the summer festival scene pushing their debut LP Songs Of Praise; ‘far be it from us to be as pushy as calling this the earliest possible contender for album of the year – and yet, we are‘, Live4ever’s review reads.
“Because back in the times before the sneering old men robbed the nineties born of their art, their dole and their dignity, there were a load of bands that made the Northern industrial wastelands what they were, a habitat of dry post-romantic articulation set to music that Metropolitanism couldn’t fathom or give a f**k about.”
