YOUTH GROUP MOVE SYDNEY SHOW TO PLAY READING & LEEDS FESTIVALS + CMJ, DEATH CAB AND US ALBUM TOUR.

Youth Group announce they will return to the UK to play both Reading and Leeds festivals followed by a US tour with Death Cab For Cutie. As the band are currently in the middle of their national tour, they regret to inform they have been forced to postpone their Newcastle show and have rescheduled their Sydney show to the new date of Tuesday August 23 at The Annandale Hotel - this will be an early show with doors opening at 7pm.

Since blitzing the UK and US once already this year, Youth Group get set to head back at the end of this month to both the UK and US. As well as playing the festivals in the UK, they will also play a handful of their own shows. From here they head over to New York for the annual CMJ music conference and then join indie favourites Death Cab For Cutie for a US run. Following this they do their own tour of the US in support of their current album ‘Skeleton Jar’ which was released to glowing reviews last month on Epitaph in the US/UK and Europe.

During their last o/s stint Youth Group’s UK limited edition ep ‘Someone Else’s Dream’ was named Single of the Week in The Independent, given 8 out of 10 in the terrifyingly fashionable Vice Magazine, and the track was being played by the influential and very funny Jonathon Ross on his Radio 2 program. The video for new single ‘Shadowland’ was added to MTV UK.

In the US things went just as well, ‘Skeleton Jar’ coming in top 40 on the CMJ College Charts while ‘Shadowland’ was the # 5 most added track on College Radio. The band received a whopping 5 out of 5 in Alternative Press Magazine, and had gushing album reviews and features in Esquire, Blender, Giant, Filter, Nylon and Time Out New York. They also made a blistering performance on The Carson Daly Show and ‘Shadowland’ featured on US series The OC. Youth Group have more recently been approached to record a track especially for the show.

But for now they’re excited to be playing to their home crowd as they continue on their ‘Someone Else’s Dream’ tour along with special guests Red Riders. So far all shows have been sold out – and it looks likely to continue that way, so to book tickets make sure you check out details below. This is the last time you’ll see Youth Group for a while as they won’t be back home until Nov/Dec. Don’t miss out!

The album‘Skeleton Jar’ repackaged and re-released. Features brand new track ‘Someone Else’s Dream’, new track listing and cool limited edition slip case. OUT NOW!
