Bastille

Bastille. You have to love a band that's name's a album Laura Palmer off the lead character from Twin Peaks, don't you? Beyond great taste in film credit Bastille's founder and singer / songwriter Dan Smith with a impeccable taste in music. Electro tinged synth-pop that brings you back to the best part of the 80's Dan's made sure Bastille has it all covered. DetailsO2 Academy Leeds, Leeds, 21 Oct 2013

The Wedding Present

British indie rock band sensation The Wedding Present has been one of the most notable bands to ever grace United Kingdom due to their timeless classics like "Will You Be Up There," and "Go Out and Get 'Em, Boy!" Though the band has constantly changed band mates over the years, David Gedge - the only remaining member of the band that put indie music on the UK map - still managed to get great performers to play with him and continue the legacy of the Wedding Present. With new members Patrick Alexander on lead guitar, Pepe le Moko on bass and backup vocals and Charles Layton on drums, the remaining months of 2012 will definitely go out with a band especially if you choose to watch one of the pioneers in indie rock in the whole world. Now that their new album, Valentina: The Story Of A Wedding Present Album is set to release on the 25th of October 2012, you can expect these new singles to be among their headliners when they start touring from this year onwards. DetailsO2 Academy Leeds, Leeds, 24 Oct 2013
