The Vaccines will be the first headliners of Live At Leeds‘ new Leeds Festival Stage.
Taking place on May 5th, the event has also added Idles, Cabbage, Nadine Shah, Yak, The Xcerts, Sea Girls and plenty more to a bill which already contains Peace, Circa Waves, The Horrors, Ash, British Sea Power and Pulled Apart By Horses.
“Whether at our own shows or at the festivals, Leeds has proved itself time and time again to be one of the best audiences in the world,” The Vaccines say of their headline booking. “We really mean that.”
“It was the first chants of ‘YORKSHIRE’ in 2011 that made us feel like we’d truly arrived. Having spent most of last year living in Yorkshire too ,and recording our new album there, this will also be somewhat of a homecoming – even if only in our heads. We can’t wait.”
“We 5 mustache-teers are more than excited to be playing Live at Leeds this year,” Cabbage have said. “Leeds is a city that is close to our hearts as it functions as an alternative base for 40% of Cabbage.”
