Support from The Velvet Hands
Hailing from St Austell, Cornwall, The Velvet Hands deliver raw, bolshy garage rock with serious momentum. Championed by BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music and Radio X, their debut album Party’s Over was named Album of the Week by Huw Stephens.
With sold-out shows across the UK and support slots for Liam Gallagher, Paul Weller and Frank Turner, plus festival appearances at Isle of Wight Festival and Truck Festival, they’ve built a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting live acts.
