Manchester band Doves are the second live band to headline the Warehouse Project this year. The band, who recently released their greatest hits album, have been a favourite in the city since they were formed here in the early ‘90s. Doves said in a recent interview for The Daily Record that they plan to take a two year break, so this could be the last chance to see them live for some time.
Supporting Doves are ex The Beta Band singer Steve Mason, and Field Music, who reunited last year to record a third album, and have been personally chosen by Belle and Sebastian to play their Bowlie Weekender festival in Sussex in December. Regulars on the Manchester circuit, Mike Pickering and Now Wave DJs top off the bill.
