After a huge couple of years from the group, they have announced their debut album "Need To Know" and go on a UK tour later this year.


This marks their first ever festival performance and a huge milestone for the group. With a number of new singles and songs from the album being debuted later that day during their set, we catch up backstage about tour, the new music and what is, for some of them, their first festival ever!

They join me backstage in the artist area to discuss the 10 year lead up to their headline set on the River Stage that night. After 6 previous appearances at the festival, including the Main Stage and Big Top Stage, this marks their first headline slot at the festival.


Later this summer, they are supporting Richard Ashcroft on his string of summer shows, across the full length of the UK and just made their 2nd number 1 album in the Independent Breakers Charts. I cover all of this with them, as well as how they are finding the festival and a sunny weekend on the Isle of Wight.
