After landing their highest chart position in 14 years when their current album ‘Exorcism of Youth’ debuted at #6, The
View will be embarking on a headline tour around the UK and will be introducing a wave of emerging artists.
Our local readers will be happy to know that they will be heading to Keele University as well as Manchester, O2 this November.
The chosen artists cover the rock ‘n’ roll spectrum, ranging from Scotland’s exuberant next generation indie rock stars Shambolics (appearing in Manchester and London) to the indie-soul elegance of Ruby J (winner of a competition to
perform at This Feeling’s inaugural By The Sea Festival, now opening in Keele) and the dark-hued alt-rock of Rosa
Caelum (on the bill in Birmingham), a band who have released just two songs to date.
Other highlights include a freshly reinvigorated take on epic, cinematic-scaled indie-rock from ROLLA (Manchester), a
rush of high energy indie-pop from The Lilacs (Keele and Newcastle) and classic songwriting with a Wolf Alice-ish edge
from Lissy Taylor (Liverpool). Singer-songwriter Ben Walker will open all five shows in Scotland.

About Keele University
Keele University was born from a pioneering vision, one of a different kind of university. Established in 1949 by Lord Lindsay – the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University – in a country still recovering from the Second World War, the University’s founding aim was to produce graduates who not only had the technical and specialist knowledge to move society forward, but who understood the social and political landscape that drove this need.
Fast-forward almost 75 years and this original ethos remains at the core of the University’s mission, and our global network of over 100,000 alumni in 120 countries is creating positive impact across the world in a range of diverse careers
