As their remarkable return gathers pace, multi Platinum-selling, BRIT Award-winning, arena-filling giants Catfish and the Bottlemen today announce that their biggest headline show to date at Liverpool’s Sefton Park this summer has sold out within a week. The 32,000 capacity show, due to take place on 11th July, is set to be one of the biggest outdoor concerts the city of Liverpool has seen, having sold out today after tickets went on general sale last Friday.
The Liverpool show comes ahead of three huge open air shows in Cardiff and Edinburgh, announced last month, both of which went on to sell out in minutes, as well as their epic return to the Reading & Leeds Festival mainstage, which they headline for the second time.
Catfish and the Bottlemen’s arena-filling sonic outlook has cemented their place amongst Britain's most successful bands of the 21st Century. Signing to Island Records in 2014 after years of relentless touring, their debut LP The Balcony surged into the UK Top 10 and helped them scoop British Breakthrough Act at the BRITs before scoring their landmark #1 album with The Ride. Since then they’ve amassed over one billion streams, two million album sales and are closing in on 10 million single sales. On stage Van McCann possesses unique magnetic energy, and is considered one of modern rock’s great live frontmen. In the five years since releasing their debut album, they’d sold over half a million tickets, and have played to over 2 million people.
With the anthemic, stadium-ready new single ‘Showtime’ and an epic live summer ahead of him, Van McCann is back where he’s meant to be: headlining festivals, finishing a brand new album, and beginning a dynamic, exciting new era for Catfish and the Bottlemen.
