BBC 6 Music favourites, Low Hummer, have been added to the bill as one-to-watch talent in support of Manic Street Preachers at The Embankment, Peterborough on Sunday, June 12.
This final announcement completes the lineup of a huge three-day takeover of live music which starts with Café Mambo Ibiza Classics on Friday, June 10, followed by Simply Red and Lisa Stansfield on Saturday, June 11.
Low Hummer are a cutting edge addition to the Sunday afternoon bill alongside The Manics and the critically acclaimed Sea Power. Fusing styles of garage rock and post-punk with pop sensibilities, Low Hummer have been impressing, from NME and Clash to numerous BBC tastemaker DJs such as Jack Saunders (Radio1), Marc Riley (6Music) and Huw Stephens (Radio1).
They first arrived in 2019 with their fuzzed-up garage anthem ‘Don’t You Ever Sleep’ and instantly made their mark at BBC 6 Music, receiving a ‘6 Music Recommends Track of the Week’ plaudit and a feature on the Roundtable scoring the band a winning 9/10.
Hailing from Hull, East Yorkshire, the six-piece describe themselves as ‘misfits from a town left behind’. In Peterborough, they’ll bring a danceable set of garage rock complete with songs from the 2021 debut album, ‘Modern Tricks For Living’, including the lead single ‘Never Enough’, which was added to Radio 1’s playlist as BBC Introducing’s ‘Track Of The Week’.
