PIXIES
Maximo Park Announced As Special Guests
JAMES plus special guest Starsailor SOLD OUT- 11th July
This summer some of the most acclaimed live artists are taking over Manchester’s Castlefield Bowl in July for the first ever Summer In The City.
Following their sold out world tour Pixies will headline Thursday 10th July and will now be joined be special guests Maximo Park and hotly tipped Brighton duo Royal Blood.
Pixies returned to the live stage last autumn and released brand new album ‘Indy Cindy’ last month, the first collection of new material since 1991’s Trompe le Monde. The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and initial six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom.
The Pixies disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every single date sold out within minutes and fans travelled hundreds of miles to attend a show. The Pixies – Black Francis – guitar/vocals, Joey Santiago – guitars/backing vocals, and David Lovering – drums/backing vocals – will be performing at festivals all over the world including Primavera and Field Day, with the most wide-ranging concert set-list in the band’s career.
Joining Pixies are Maximo Park who released their acclaimed fifth album ‘Too Much Information’ earlier this year. Ahead of their appearance at Summer In The City Maximo Park will headline a tour across America before heading back to the UK for an appearance at Hop Farm. This summer will also see the band appearing at T in the Park, Standon Calling and Split Festival in Sunderland.
Opening Summer in the City is the hotly tipped Brighton duo Royal Blood. Featured on the BBC Sound of 2014 and MTV Brand New lists Royal Blood recently appeared on this year’s NME tour and headlined their own first headline tour. Their new single ‘Come On Over’ is out now.
Also appearing at Summer in the City is legendary Manchester band James who will be performing one of their renowned headline sets on Friday 11th July and will be joined by special guests Starsailor. The iconic Castlefield bowl in the heart of Manchester City Centre played host to the Courteeners in 2013 for two hugely successful sold out concerts.
