Catfish And The Bottlemen confirm Radio 1 Big Weekend
added: 10 May 2014
Catfish And The Bottlemen have just been announced to headline the BBC Introducing Stage at this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend on May 24 2014.
The billing sees the Communion/Island Records signed 4 piece playing alongside the likes of Lorde, London Grammar, CHVRCHES and Clean Bandit at the three day event in Glasgow, and follows the Radio 1 B-listed release of their latest single 'Kathleen', which also found playlist slots at XFM and 6Music, and charted Top 5 in Spotify's Most Viral Tracks.
The headline slot sits amidst Catfish's 17 date headline UK tour- including a sold-out London Dingwalls date on May 20- and precedes a characteristically hectic summer for the band, which will take in a raft of further festival appearances including Latitude (Lake Stage, curated by Huw Stephens), Reading & Leeds Festival and Kendal Calling.
'Kathleen' was recorded with Jim Abbiss (the man previously behind Arctic Monkeys' debut Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not), and is the fourth single release in under 12 months from the fast-rising garage 4 piece who've gathered little moss during their debut year.
