One of the most exciting new guitar bands to break through in the UK this decade is Catfish and the Bottlemen. Their debut album, 'The Balcony', written by charismatic front man Van McCann, is heading for Platinum status in the UK, with all of their singles getting back to back playlists and heavily rotated plays at National Radio.
Catfish and the Bottlemen were awarded Best Newcomer at the 2014 BBC Music Awards, and went on to feature prominently at many UK Festivals throughout the summer of 2015, then capping a whirlwind year with an extensive UK tour in November which sold out, over 40,000 tickets in under 10 minutes. Over the Atlantic they also didn't stop. Touring consistently, they were announced as the #1 new artist in America by Billboard Magazine and the single 'Kathleen', becoming a firm favorite at alternative radio. A huge summer of USA festivals is guaranteed.
Now the UK's freshest and most exciting live act, they recently sold out this July's Manchester's 8,000 capacity Castlefield Bowl in 6 minutes of going on sale! The band have just finished recording part 2 of their album series in LA with producer David Sardy and when asked about the new album Van recently told Q Magazine that "The last album was the support act. this one is the headliner!" Having just recently been voted 'Best New Band' in the UK at this years Brit Awards...2016 looks to be the year Catfish and the Bottlemen take over.

Catfish And The Bottlemen: At SSE Arena Wembley
Leapfrogging a spectacular summer of international festival appearances and looking to warm up their still-growing legion of fans this winter, an energised Catfish and The Bottlemen announce their return to The SSE Arena, Wembley on Friday 2 November 2018.
Two years on from their last, critically-acclaimed, sell-out appearance at Wembley in late 2016, the band return to a place that became symbolic of the band's unassailable rise from well-kept secret to vehemently adored arena-fillers. Having sold out their forthcoming Cardiff Castle date within 24 hours and incendiary festival appearances fuelling their momentum, their return to the capital is announced amid obvious and ever growing demand.
Contributing a sense of unapologetic ambition to British guitar music and teasing the promise of new material to follow their 2016, gold-status album, 'The Ride', the band is led onto ever bigger stages in the US, Spain, France and on home soil throughout summer 2018 by venerated frontman and songwriter, Van McCann, with Johnny Bond (lead guitar), Benji Blakeway (bass) and Bob Hall (drums).
Catfish and The Bottlemen admit to being happily of "no fixed abode" due to near constant touring and recording since 2014, when now platinum-certified debut album 'The Balcony' surfaced. From within any audience from Manchester to Melbourne, critics and peers have been engulfed by the swell of eager sentiment propelled by a vociferous fan base.
Tickets are available from the link below.
