With a mammothly eclectic lineup of world class talent spread across three European tour dates, THE XX's 'Night & Day' run of shows was always guaranteed to be a herculean and very special undertaking.
The plan was simple, to run three large XX curated concerts in Lisbon, Berlin and London spanning entire days and featuring performances from the likes of JOHN TALABOT, MOUNT KIMBIE, JAMES MURPHY (LCD SOUNDSYSTEM), JESSIE WARE, KINDNESS, MYKKI BLANCO, POLICIA, SOLANGE and of course JAMIE XX + the headlining group themselves.
From the look of this video just released by the band documenting the Lisbon show it looks like everything has gone extremely right! How many other acts on the planet could possibly compel such a quality list of performers to participate in a mini-festival dedicated to their own headline set? Very few.
European audiences can catch remaining shows in Berlin on May 18 and London on June 22. More info over at the band's OFFICIAL WEBSITE.
THE XX currently have a feverish schedule of live dates planned right up until September; they'll be touring throughout Europe, North America and Asia.
