Milburn, Temples announced as headline acts for Derby’s 2Q Festival

Milburn and Temples have been announced as the headline acts for the 2Q Festival, which will be taking over ten venues in Derby this coming April.

They join the previously confirmed Pulled Apart By Horses, Asylums, Hooton Tennis Club, Idles, John Power and others while VANT, Tigercub, Tall Ships and Sunflower Thieves are some other brand new names.

2016 saw the return of Milburn after a decade away, while Temples will be back themselves on March 3rd with the album Volcano, which has already had some good ground laid by the Certainty single. “When writing the melody for ‘Certainty’, I wanted to create something with almost an eerie, early Disney vibe, something playful and harmonious, but with a dark twist,” frontman James Bagshaw has previously said.

“Producing the song was as much about layering as it was about sparseness – the verses needed to reveal the thumping motion of the bass and the reflective lyrics, and the melody had to be paired with the right ambience.”
