It is good to see a band like The xx still trying to push themselves and do things differently, this their most ambitious headline events to date proves that.
“Night + Day is a series of events, curated by us, to start in the summer of 2013. We searched high and low for unique and beautiful locations to stage these shows and picked the artists that we most respect and admire to join us. The events will run from early afternoon, with some of our favourite music (and food) to take you from day into night.” – The xx
