da Bank said: ”OK, check this out for a triple whammy - my joint favourite band of last year The XX playing what will be a very rare UK festival appearance
on our very own Isle of Wight, the audio-visual phenomenon that is Fever Ray with her ONLY UK festival this year and to cap it all one of the most important electronic

guise to the Big Top.
“Selfishly these are three of the most played artists round the da Banks' at the
moment and if you don't already own all the music get it now and get ready for September!'”
