Watch Catfish and the Bottlemen perform six songs at intimate Absolute Radio gig
Relive their triumphant show
Last updated 2nd Mar 2020
On the eve of their sold-out UK arena tour, back on 1st November Llandudno indie rock marvels Catfish and the Bottlemen performed a gig for Absolute Radio in front of just 800 fans at University of London Union.
Throughout the scintillating 13-song set, the band had the entire venue bouncing as they delved into material from all three of their studio albums - 2014 breakthrough ‘The Balcony’, 2016’s chart-topping ‘The Ride’ and this past April’s ‘The Balance’.
For a band more accustomed to headlining festivals and vast arenas, to see Catfish and the Bottlemen perform in ultra-intimate surroundings in front of their fervent fans was very special indeed.
Fortunately, we now have full video footage of six songs from that night for you to feast your eyes and ears on – set opener ‘Longshot’ plus ‘2all’, ‘Cocoon’, ‘7’, ‘Kathleen’ and ‘Soundcheck’.
Behold Catfish and the Bottlemen in their live glory at Absolute Radio Live below:

Absolute Radio’s Danielle Perry also caught up with Van McCann and Johnny Bond backstage at the show where she asked them if there is new music on the horizon:
Last week it was announced that Catfish and the Bottlemen headline Neighbourhood Weekender at Victoria Park in Warrington on Sunday 24th May 2020.
The blockbuster line-up also boasts Ian Brown, Sam Fender, Shed Seven, Miles Kane, Pale Waves, The Coral, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Tom Walker, Reverend & The Makers, The Lightning Seeds and many more.
