Altsounds - YOU ME AT SIX CONFIRM STRING OF LIVE DATES

You Me At Six’s constant touring for the past 12 months has paid off. The band can now confirm some very exciting upcoming live dates. They will be headlining a Kerrang! Awards show at the London Barfly on August 18 and later that week, performing at the infamous Carling Weekend: Reading & Leeds Festival on the Festival Republic Stage, which takes place August 22-25, 2008.

Having just completed a 21-date, sold-out UK headline tour and gearing up for their performance at this year’s T In The Park, You Me At Six are also thrilled to announce the dates for their next UK headline tour, this October. The tour sees the band play the Astoria in London, which has been a dream of theirs since the band started. Lead singer Josh Franceschi states,

“Obviously we can't wait to play the Astoria as it's something we've wanted to do since we became a band. We are all petrified as to whether or not we'll be able to fill the venue, but we've never done things the 'normal' way so we'll just have to see!”

The band is also thrilled to offer their fans a low ticket price of £9.00 on all regional dates and £10.50 for the Astoria. From Franceschi,

“Keeping the ticket price low was a huge thing for us. Would our fans think it was reasonable if our ticket prices went from being cheap to really expensive? No, probably not. We wanted to keep it low so people could afford to come see us play live. We're not fussed about making loads of money, just enough for us to fund touring.”
