Primal Scream at Pitchfork Paris 2019 (Jessica Bartolini for Live4ever)
Primal Scream are due in Margate on Saturday, August 5th.
Primal Scream will headline the Margate Summer Series next year with Happy Mondays confirmed as their special guests.
Tickets are due to go on sale this Friday, November 11th, with Dreamland also set to host the Funk & Soul Weekender in June and Bastille on July 1st.
Meanwhile, after recent tours and releases following another landmark for Screamadelica, the most recent studio album from Primal Scream remains Chaosmosis, on which Bobby Gillespie proved to be, ‘as astutely embracive of the world around him’, as ever according to Live4ever’s review:
“Even more outstanding is the campy, new-wave glimmer of ‘Where the Light Gets It’, Gillespie and Ferreira’s lovelorn verses swerving in and out with palpable chemistry as the song’s inner-peace chorus punches with a sugary pop. Effortlessly combining influences of dance, pop, and rock n’ roll, this dancefloor anthem reaches a crescendo with a wobbly guitar solo.”
“Zeffra’s featured performance on folk ditty ‘Private Wars’, meanwhile, offers a welcome but unexpected breath of fresh air as warm strings elegantly close the album’s first side.”
