The Parlotones to play World Cup pre Opening Gig


The Parlotones came to the attention of music fans in Germany, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Austria and the US, following an 18 month sold-out 300-date world tour, packing out 1000+ capacity venues in the UK by word of mouth alone.

The internationally successful band is to mount a serious assault on the UK’s charts.

With all eyes on South Africa as they prepare to host this year’s World Cup, the country’s most successful indie-rock band The Parlotones look set to cement their position on the global stage with exciting new single, Life Design, taken from their forthcoming album 'Stardust Galaxies’.

The band has been supported by the likes of Razorlight and The Smashing Pumpkins at stadium shows in their home country and their band profile is such that they were also chosen to play at Live Earth, Africa Day.

The subsequent performance was screened to millions all over the world. Their innovative, big-production music videos have been nominated for MTV awards and the band won two awards at the prestigious ISC (International Song Contest), in the US, judged by the likes of Robert Smith, Tom Waits and Rob Thomas.

With a phenomenal buzz building around these guys and in a World Cup year when all eyes are on South Africa, The Parlotones will soon have the world at their feet.
