Circa Waves

Circa Waves are a staple of the UK indie-rock scene, coming up to eight years since their iconic debut 'Young Chasers'. The band have gone from strength to strength ever since this LP, with sets in front of tens of thousands of people on main stages now the norm for the band. We caught up with vocalist Kieran Shudall and bassist Sam Rourke at Leeds Festival to discuss their summer of festivals, their new EP 'Hell on Earth' and more.

We headed to Leeds Festival for a solid weekend of live music and headline performances from The 1975, Dave, Arctic Monkeys and more.

'Hell On Earth' is the band's first full release since 2020 - check out the video for the title track here.

Bring Me The Horizon, Rage Against The Machine, Arctic Monkeys and more have been confirmed in this first announcement.

With over 100 bands booked, and countless stages dotted around Leeds hosting some of the best local talent around as well as some big names on the line-up, Live at Leeds is a day not to be missed – we went to the festival to see for ourselves.

Sheffield's biggest party was welcomed back into Hillsborough Park over the weekend of July 23rd - July 25th, as the twelfth edition of Tramlines Festival made its triumphant return to Steel City. It showcased the best music, film and comedy that local Sheffield acts and UK wide talent has to offer and featured flares, flying drinks and sets across five stages from Sarah Nulty’s Main Stage to T’Other Stage and The Leadmill Stage to The Open Arms. Tramlines put on a true northern style long weekender.

The single follows the release of the band's latest album 'Sad Happy' earlier this year.

Cohesively bringing together two of the most juxtaposing emotions is a hard balance for any band to strike, but Circa Waves' burning ambition to musically represent two extremities of modern society sees them pour their sad and happy state of minds into their latest full-length, 'Sad Happy'.

The single comes ahead of some rare live performances from the songwriting team.
