Top band announces home town gig

Maybeshewill invite you to a very special show at Leicester's Y Theatre on 16th October 2010.

"Leicester's Maybeshewill spent 2008 and 2009 playing an incredible number of dates around the UK, Europe and the rest of the world, as well as sold out shows as far afield as Russia and Japan."

This is our first home-town headline show in over a year, and we're planning to make a bit of an event of it. We'll be debuting new material from our forthcoming third album, rehashing some older songs, and busting out everything we can to make it a fucking awesome night.

ALSO, perhaps more importantly, we're inviting some of our favourite bands from across the country - some we've met on our travels, some we've toured with, some we've released records by and some we just love to pieces to join us for an EPIC day and night of amazing music.

To top it all off, we're in the middle of filming a documentary about our city's music scene entitled 'Co-Conspirators' and we'll be debuting the film in it's entirety between bands. VERY SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THE FORTHCOMING MONTHS. TICKETS AVAILABLE IN 2010 FROM SEE TICKETS, GIGANTIC, WE GOT TICKETS, ROCKABOOM AND FIREBUG.
