The Charlatans and The Enemy are the latest big names to be added to this year’s Whitehaven festival.
The bands were announced today (22/03/12) as the acts playing on the Sunday night of the Diamond Jubilee event.
Also taking to the stage on the final night of the festival will be Simon Townshend who plays alongside his dad Pete in The Who, and The Lottery Winners.
Led by charismatic frontman Tim Burgess, the Charlatans burst out of the Madchester music scene in 1990 with their debut album Some Friendly and the psychedelia-tinged hit single The Only One I Know.
Major hits such as North Country Boy, How High, Weirdo and , One to Another followed.
All of the band’s 11 studio albums have charted in the Top 40 and three of them were number ones.
They have also racked up 17 Top 30 singles, and four Top 10 hits in the singles chart.
Indie rockers The Enemy are also chart regulars.
The band’s debut album We’ll Live and Die in These Towns went straight to number one in the albums chart in 2007 and the follow-up, Music for the People made it to number two, while the tracks Away from Here and Had Enough both made it into the top 10 of the singles chart.
The Coventry trio supported Oasis and played the Reading and Leeds Festival before taking a two year break from music.
After a long wait, their new album Streets In The Sky is now due for release.
