Aerials Up To Kick Off Leith Festival

Good news just in. Glasgow’s folk-rockers have just booked with Gary Tait to play on the opening night of the Leith Music Festival on Friday 10th June. Tickets aren’t even on sale yet, but once they’re out you should like totally get some.

The ‘Up have been pretty busy recently, supporting Paolo Nutini at the Royal Albert Hall and in a recent ‘BBC 2 In Concert’ performance, recording with Jo Whiley in Paisley. Other high points include a headline slot at the Dublin Castle in London, and support slots with The Futureheads and more recently supporting Ash on their Scottish tour. Live radio sessions include Vic Galloway’s BBC Radio 1 Session in the Nations Scotland show as well as a more recent live session on Vic Galloway on BBC Radio Scotland.

And they’re just about to launch an E.P - Superglue - with producers Tony Doogan (Mogwai, Super Furry Animals, Belle & Sebastian) and Chris Gordon (Union of Knives, Baby Chaos). Had a wee (secret) listen to a couple of the tracks and it promises good things.

So until then, why not treat yourself to some of their current tracks on Soundcloud.

See you in Leith.
