The line-up’s been announced for this year’s Live at Leeds, taking place 1st-4th May 2015. With the all-day music event running on 2nd May 2015, big names have been confirmed in the shape of local heroes Hookworms and Eagulls. Tobias Jesso Jr. and Oceaán are also on the bill, with Swim Deep – finishing off their second record, due out this year – also set to play.
The first big names to catch the eye include Carl Barat & The Jackals – whose debut album Let It Reign is due to drop in a fortnight’s time – London’s much heralded bucolic folk rockers Dry The River; those art-rock cerebralists Dutch Uncles; Thurston Moore and another man with an illustrious past, the former Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes,; as well as Leeds’ very own noise merchants Eagulls and their fellow Leodians the mighty Hookworms, all of whom affirm the festival’s core principle for promoting local talent alongside established international acts
An quite wonderful looking undercard already boasts garage rockers Slaves – who will be in Leeds later this month on the NME Awards Tour – rising pop quartet Lawson, the Grammy nominated singer and producer MNEK, the electric fuzz-pop of Cardiff’s Joanna Gruesome, indie-rockersSpector and MOBO Award winner Stormzy
Elsewhere, exciting names include thrashing duo Bruising, Nashville punks Bully, Brighton newcomers Black Honey and big guns Dutch Uncles, Dry the River and The Thurston Moore Band.
