UK headline dates following Download fest carnage

| On 17, Jun 2011

“A frenetic, hugely entertaining and inventing genre mash-up full of punk rock aggression and rock’n’roll swagger”
– Rock Sound
“letlive. are one of the most truly exciting bands to emerge in years” – Metal Hammer
“Exhilarating stuff.” – Kerrang!
“a whirl of clattering hardcore, gymnastic screaming and raw-edged, blazing riffs.” – Q Magazine
“There’s an undeniably catchy quality to the raging sound of LA post-hardcore combo letlive. on their third album ‘Fake History'” – Metro

Fresh from an incendiary set at Download festival, letlive. are all set for an imminent return to the UK which will kick off with appearances on the Lock-up Stage at Reading and Leeds festivals. Bassist Ryan Jay Johnson explains how the band are honored to be on such a bill – “letlive. are going to play at the oldest, and quite possibly largest, festival in the world. A festival that booked The Yardbirds, New Order, and Nirvana – time to sharpen our live show.” Thanks to Rock Sound, the unconventional start to letlive.’s set at Download festival was captured on film. This goes a small way toward demonstrating why you have to see this band live – http://www.rocksound.tv/tv/article/download-festival-2011-shorts-letlive.

The band will also take their intense live show across the country at a handful of intimate headline all around the country. See below for full details.

letlive. have been turning heads left, right and centre with both their stunning live performances and their critically acclaimed recent album Fake History which was released on legendary indie Epitaph Records earlier this year.
