Django Django – Reading and Leeds Festivals
This band’s style is pretty tricky to classify due to the many quirky elements and sounds they incorporate, but I find it best described as desert rock with a space age twist. It’s dusty and rough, but also sounds a bit distant. It’s impossible to link similar bands to them and that’s a big reason as to why everyone should see Django Djano this festival season. If you miss Slaves you can always see Drenge; if you miss Peace, Swim Deep are available, but if you miss Django Django, you miss any chance of hearing the sound they represent. The band deservedly headline the Festival Republic stage at this year’s Reading and Leeds Festival and it would be a good idea to go check them out.
Coming off the release of a fairly successful second LP, Born Under Saturn – and a Mercury Prize shortlisted debut back in 2012 – the quality of their music isn’t in question. There’s a lot of things going on in their music and it’s a guarantee that anyone viewing them will find their set refreshing.

If you want to see some proper talent and what can be undoubtedly be promised to be a musical spectacle, then go and see this lot. It will be odd, weird and a welcome change to what else is on show over the weekend.
