CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMEN IN CONCERT:
U.K. indie rockers Catfish and the Bottlemen are on the rise thanks to their blend of passionate songwriting, memorable melodies, and sonic exploration. In concert lead singer and guitarist Van McCann bares his soul with his yearning vocals on instant classics like “Homesick”, “Cocoon”, and “Kathleen”. The rest of the band stirs up a post-punk-inspired sonic cocktail, using echoing guitar feedback, driving bass melodies, and pulsating drum beats to give each song a vibrant undercurrent. Ticket buyers can’t help but join in on the energetic alternative anthems that Catfish and the Bottlemen bring to the stage whenever they go on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Van McCann was born in Cheshire, England in 1992, though he was raised in Llandudno, Wales. He formed Catfish and the Bottlemen in 2007 with high school friends Billy Bibby (guitar) and Benji Blakeway (bass), and began performing in parking lots after shows by bands like Kasabian. After adding drummer Bob Hall, the group generated considerable buzz in 2013 with the independent release of the singles “Homesick”, “Rango”, and “Pacifier”. They spent the following year turning in impressive performances at festivals like Reading & Leeds, T in the Park, and Governors Ball. The rigorous touring ultimately paid off when their 2014 debut full-length The Balcony peaked at No. 10 on the UK albums chart before being certified Gold later that year. With fans already buzzing about their follow-up album, Catfish and the Bottlemen continue to give impassioned performances to audiences around the world as they build on their sterling reputation.

Amazing concert. Small stage and small group but it was honestly better that way. It was easy to get right up to the barrier and see them up close. I had the best time. They sound exactly the same in person as they do in their recorded songs.
Went for the 1975 and ended up loving catfish even more! They sure know how to put on a show
Catfish gave such an energizing concert and definitely gave 100%. I would see them again, for sure!
They sounded great but the stage was too small. They should've been on the main stage instead of the backyard stage.
Amazing live! Hopefully they continue to play small venues. As for Ticket Master, paid parking was great, it was the only parking with gated security! :)
Such an amazing gig, last time I saw Catfish was in front of 20,000 people at Wembley so this just blew me away! It was like seeing them in my back garden!! The energy of their shows is always incredible & they never disappoint.
Even though it was an outdoor area, it was pretty small and intimate which gave for a great show from Catfish and the Bottlemen and I also loved their opener, July Talk!
Concert was fantastic, they’re really good performers. 10/10
The venue was great and the security and staff were great too! The show was awesome
