The band are also delighted to announce that they will be playing at this year’s The Great Escape festival on 18th May alongside Tribes and The 1975 at Brighton’s Paginini Room.

Young Kato have, since the release of the critically acclaimed Young Kato EP in the summer of 2012, been touring the UK tirelessly with headline shows across the country and successful support slots with a wide array of bands, including Bastille, Swim Deep, We Are Scientists and Peace. The band also featured heavily in the first episode of the new series of Made in Chelsea with a superb performance that took their debut EP soaring up the charts. The Young Kato EP hit #31 in the main iTunes album charts as well as breaking into the top 10 of the Alternative charts. and re-entered the album Top 40 for a second time this week.

Already gaining national airplay from Radio 1 and Absolute Radio for the single as well as being featured on 4 Music and Topman’s now must-have tastemaker Mixtape, Young Kato recently signed by BMG for both publishing and records and headed straight into the studio with a fistful of killer demos and producer Gordon Mills Jr. With an average age of just 18, Young Kato have continued their knack of writing incredibly danceable, synth edged indie-rock and rapidly produced three potential singles in those first recording sessions.
