PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED AT THE ‘FIGHTING TALK BIG DAY OUT’ AT STOKE CITY BRITANNIA STADIUM ON 26TH MAY
RELEASE NEW ALBUM ‘STREETS IN THE SKY’ ON MAY 21ST
The Enemy have been confirmed to perform at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 5th May at the FA Cup Final with the performance broadcast live around the world exclusively on ESPN.
They are also confirmed to headline the ‘Fighting Talk Big Day Out’ at Stoke City Britannia Stadium on Saturday 26th May. Fighting Talk is hosted by Colin Murray and is a weekly BBC Radio 5 Live show and as part of the Big Weekend the band will play live in the stadium to an audience of over 6,500 people.
The ESPN ‘Talk of the Terrace’ performance will take place in the run up to the FA Cup Final and The Enemy will part of the whole days coverage on ESPN. They will be performing two songs in the roof of the stadium from their new album ‘Streets in the Sky’ which will be released on 21st May, before heading to Leeds to headline ‘Live at Leeds’ festival that night.
‘Streets in the Sky’ is the bands third album and according to the band, their best yet. Recorded in London and LA with Joby J. Ford from seminal US punk band The Bronx, the 12-track album has the signature Enemy anthemic guitar sound yet it is much heavier than the last two albums. It is packed with huge songs from the catchy and forceful free download single ‘Gimme The Sign’ to the instantly catchy anthemic song ‘Bigger Cages (Longer Chains)’ to the melodic and punchy track ‘This Is Real’. New single ‘Saturday’ is a summer anthem in the making with a singalong chorus that is just made to be chanted from the football stadium to the festival fields to the pub on a night out. The Enemy are set to make their mark again in 2012 and ‘Streets in the Sky’ is just the start.
The video for the new single ‘Saturday’ can now be watched exclusively on VEVO
The Enemy formed in hometown Coventry in 2006 by three friends; Andy Hopkins (24, bass), Liam Watts (23, drums) and Tom Clarke (23, vocals/guitar). Their first single ’40 days, 40 nights’ sold out all 1000 copies of its limited edition 7” in less than a day and signaled only the start for The Enemy. Their debut 2007 album ‘We’ll Live and Die in These Towns’ charted at #1 selling over 600,000 copies with big singles ‘Away From Here’ (Top 10) and ‘Had Enough’ (Top 5) gaining the band an army of diehard fans. Their second album ‘Music For The People’ was released in 2009 and charted very strongly at #2 with hit ‘Be Somebody’ continued to be used on ITV’s FA Cup coverage.
