A new line up and a reinvigorated band started working on songs for a fourth album proper. Razorlight have earned their place as one of the most compelling, maverick guitar bands to have emerged from the UK.
Also coming to Live From The Yard are festival favourites The Zutons. Famous for their global smash hit ‘Valerie,’ the loveable scousers are back after 16 years with a new album, and an infectious new single, ‘Creeping On The Dancefloor’, taken from the forthcoming Nile Rodgers / Ian Broudie produced fourth studio record, ‘The Big Decider’.
Sheffield favourites Reverend and the Makers – fronted by legendary singer songwriter Jon McClure – celebrated a welcome return to the UK Top 10 in 2023 with the release of their critically acclaimed seventh studio album Heatwave in the Cold North.
With anthems such as 'Heavyweight Champion of The World', 'Letter To My 21 year Old Self', and 'Black Widow', the much-loved band will complete an epic day in the Hull summer sun.
