Exciting new bands heading to Stockton for the return of Sunday Live

KU and The Storytellers will play host to the likes of Wolf Alice, Circa Waves, Wild Cub, As Elephants Are and Natives

Some of the most exciting new bands in music are heading to Stockton for the return of Sunday Live.

KU and The Storytellers will play host to the likes of Wolf Alice, Circa Waves, Wild Cub, As Elephants Are and Natives amongst others on Sunday, May 4.

Sunday Live debuted in 2013 with the aim of drawing some of the most mouth-watering musical talents to Teesside. The 1975, one of the biggest bands of last year, headlined and New York punk band Skaters and indie rock favourites Twisted Wheel also played to a sold out crowd.

This year’s event sees the single most blogged about band in 2013 headline KU. Wolf Alice are currently heading the way for the current Brit-Pop-esque revival that has been seeping in to the airwaves and national conscience for the last year.

The London foursome captures youthful joys and adolescent angst with breathy verses and raucous choruses backed by stuttering and pounding drums and chunky guitar riffs.

Major buzz band Circa Waves, who are currently on the NME Tour along with Interpol and Temples, will also perform at KU.

The Storytellers will be headlined by Nashville, Tennessee act Wild Cub.

“Last year’s Sunday Live was a brilliant night; The 1975 blew the crowd away and went on to have a number one album and are now playing venues like The Royal Albert Hall,” said Jimmy Beck, from Ku and Storytellers.

“We can see acts like Wolf Alice, Circa Waves and Natives going on to do similar, so bringing them to Teesside on one bill is really exciting.”

Tickets are £9 in advance from seetickets.com or in person from The Storytellers and Sound It Out Records.
