The Wembley show marks a significant jump for the band who have already enjoyed a very fruitful 12 months. Last year saw them play U.K and European stadium support slots with Muse and U.S. arena shows alongside Kings Of Leon.
In the first few months of this year the band have played U.S. and U.K. headline tours (including two sold-out nights at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire and a New York Terminal 5 show) and made high-profile Stateside TV appearances on the Late Show with David Letterman and the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The next three months sees them appear at most of the major Summer festivals and once again play main support on the Kings of Leon U.K. and European stadium tour.
