COURTEENERS ANNOUNCE GLASTONBURY & CASTLEFIELD BOWL WARM-UP SHOW AT LIVERPOOL O2 ACADEMY ON 25TH JUNE
Courteeners announced last night that they will play a warm-up show for Glastonbury and their Castlefield Bowl headline shows on Tuesday 25th June at Liverpool O2 Academy.
The show follows the band’s support slot with The Stones Roses at Finsbury Park last week and tickets will go on sale on Friday 14th June at 9am through www.gigsandtours.com.
Courteeners two headline outdoor shows, in association with Fosters Good Call, are being held at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester on 5th and 6th July, and they will play to 8,000 fans per night. Supports across both dates include Miles Kane, Reverend & the Makers, James Skelly & The Intenders, The Strypes, The Heartbreaks and Findlay. The gigs sold out straight away and they are the fastest selling Courteeners shows ever.
Courteeners released new single ‘Van Der Graaff’ last month, the follow-up to ‘Lose Control’ which was the first single from their top 10 album ‘ANNA’, and is an epic anthemic track with an addictive guitar riff and soaring vocals. It is sure to be a huge festival track this summer.
‘ANNA’ followed a two year break since Courteeners last album ‘Falcon’, which charted at #6 and was the follow-up to the bands #4 debut album ‘St. Jude’. The band recorded and produced ‘ANNA’ in Manchester at 80 Hertz Studios with producer Joe Cross (Hurts) and in December, performed new tracks from the album at a sold out homecoming show at the 17,000 capacity Manchester Arena.
