Clean Bandit and Years and Years added to Midlands festival bill
Clean Bandit and Years and Years are set to play a festival in the Midlands next year.
They will join world-renowned DJ David Guetta and Anne-Marie on the bill of Soundscape Weekender, set to take place at Coventry's Ricoh Arena.
Clean Bandit - which consists of Grace Chatto, and brothers Jack and Luke Patterson - is best known for songs such as Rockabye, Symphony and Rather Be.
The trio sold over 13 million singles and 1.6 million albums worldwide.
Formed in 2010, London trio Years and Years is fronted by Penny Dreadful, Tormented and Skins actor Olly Alexander – who is originally from North Yorkshire.
Completed by friends Mikey Goldsworthy and Emre Türkmen, the group are best known for hit songs such as Desire, Shine, King and Sanctify.
Talking ahead of the event, director at Showtime Live, Dan Nelmes, said: “This music festival is all about offering a range of high-calibre acts at a low price.
"People can see seven performances from some of the most in-demand artists in the world, plus a 90-minute headline set from David Guetta, for the same cost as going to see a gig featuring a couple of artists.
“Clean Bandit and Years and Years are two of the biggest names on the UK music circuit at the moment and are fantastic additions to the line-up, and we’re incredibly excited to see what they both have in store for us in June.
“We’re getting closer to having our full Sunday line-up revealed with two more artists to announce over the next few days.”
Justine Hewitt, head of operations at the Ricoh Arena, added: “This city is set for a fantastic weekend of music – the calibre of artists on offer is second to none and is fast becoming the must-see music festival next year – we can’t wait to see who is booked in to perform on day one”
Soundscape Weekender will take place from June 15 to 16.
