The Music reunite and announce massive homecoming show
The Cribs, The Coral and more are confirmed as special guests
After teasing an announcement on social media earlier this week, The Music have officially reunited after nine years away and will play a massive homecoming show in Leeds next summer.
The Music’s exclusive reunion show is entitled For The People and takes place at Leeds Temple Newsham Park on Friday 28th May 2021.
Very special guests at the show will be The Cribs, The Coral, The Snuts and The Skinner Brothers.
Tickets to The Music’s reunion show go on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets at 10am on Friday 11th May.
The Music started teasing their return on Tuesday (1st September) when they posted a 10-second clip to Facebook and Twitter featuring a crunching guitar riff and the vibrating artwork to their eponymous debut album ‘The Music’. The album celebrated its 18th birthday on Wednesday.
The Music’s social media accounts sparked into life for the first time in nine years back in June when all four band members - Robert Harvey, Adam Nutter, Stuart Coleman and Phil Jordan – joined The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess for a #TimsTwitterListeningParty for their debut album.
Since then, guitarist Adam Nutter has posted a series of videos of himself performing The Music’s songs including 2002’s ‘The People’ and ‘Take the Long Road and Walk It’.
Formed in the Kippax area of Leeds shortly before the new millennium, The Music released three studio albums in their 12-year career – The Music (2002), ‘Welcome to the North’ (2004) and ‘Strength in Numbers’ (2008).
Famed for their incandescent live performances, The Music called it a day after their swansong tour in the summer of 2011. A two-part live album, recorded in Leeds and London, was released that August.
After The Music’s initial split in 2011, singer Rob Harvey formed The D.O.T. with The Streets’ Mike Skinner and they released one studio album, ‘And That’ in October 2012. Rob previously lent his vocals to three songs on The Streets’ 2011 album ‘Computers and Blues’.
Also an esteemed songwriter and producer, Harvey has also worked with the likes of Rudimental and Clean Bandit.
