GOLD SOUNDS – Festival Leeds University 25th May 2015
Posted: March 26, 2015 in FESTIVALS, MUSICTags: festivals, Gold Sounds, Leeds University
New venue but with the same amount of talent, the third Gold Sounds Festival prepares to take over Leeds University Union this May.
There’s a lot to be said for Leeds’ music festivals – they’re some of the best around, whether you’re camping in a muddy field in the middle of nowhere or traipsing around the city with a beer in hand. The latest name to add to that list is Gold Sounds Festival on the second May bank holiday weekend in 2015.
Having brought us two fine days of fuzzed up rock’n’roll music at Brudenell Social Club in 2014, featuring the likes of Cloud Nothings, Merchandise, Cheatahs and Sky Larkin, they’re at it again for 2015.
This time, however, they’ve taken their all-dayer to Leeds University Union on Monday 25th May 2015 to make the most of their abundance of venues in what’s sure to carry on the fledgling brilliance of the previous events.
Headline duty is taken by The Fat White Family who have been in our venues and at our festivals incessantly over the past two years – and that’s no complaint. After sets bordering on carnage at Leeds Festival, Live at Leeds and Beacons last year, they’ll have no problem tearing the roof off Gold Sounds Festival this year.
They’ll be joined by The Wytches who continue to obliterate live music fans with the filthy grunge that’s won them a slew of fans on debut record ‘Annabel Dream Reader’ – it’s when you see them live that they really come into their own though.
Canadian punks Fucked Up are also on the Gold Sounds Festival bill for 2015, and return to Leeds after christening Belgrave Music Hall last summer with their relentless fourth LP ‘Glass Boys’.
They’ll be joined by the returning Hinds, formerly known as Deers, who played the last all-dayer back in November. It’s also just their second Leeds show, and with the hype machine gathering pace around them, will be worth checking out.
Glasgow duo Honeyblood will also be at Leeds University Union in May. Their rough and ready self-titled album was released last year and was undoubtedly one of the most exciting debut releases of 2014.
Sitting alongside them on the Gold Sounds Festival line up are Big Deal, in preparation for the release of their just finished third album. 2011’s ‘Lights Out’ was a welcome introduction, before the brilliant ‘June Gloom’ was released in 2013.
Our favourite Mancunian post-punk quartet Pins will be also be making an appearance. They’ve finished their second LP ‘Wild Nights’ and will be showing it off just before its release on Monday 8th June 2015.
To open up proceedings, there are four hot new artists that are well worth getting down early for. Happyness, Pity Sex, Colleen Green and the returning Theo Verney will all be gracing Gold Sounds Festival with their presence. That’s eleven bands for just twenty quid – Gold Sounds is incredible value and an incredible festival, but don’t just take our word for it, find out for yourself.
