As Yard Act say goodbye to their debut album The Overload, they’re starting to break more new ground. The Leeds-based four-piece played their biggest ever headline show at London’s Troxy this week, including on Friday night. Ali Shutler went to watch.
Yard Act and Mimi Webb are among a list of 50 new names added to the Latitude 2023 lineup, along with long-time indie-rockers James, who’ll be celebrating their 40th anniversary at the festival.
The lads from Leeds – Sam, Ryan, Jay and James, aka Yard Act – have been ranked as the most-booked new act across European festivals this summer.
