The Cribs at Leeds Festival: ‘These are our last shows for a long time’

Band set to take a break after weekend of festival fun

The Cribs played Leeds Festival this afternoon (August 27) – kicking off their last weekend of gigging action before they take a break and get to work on their fifth album.

With tomorrow’s Reading Festival the last live date on their schedule, the weekend marks a sign-off for their fourth album, last year’s ‘Ignore The Ignorant’.

The three Jarman brothers and guitarist Johnny Marr played on the Main Stage, with a setlist heavy with songs from that album, plus fan favourites including ‘Men’s Needs’ and ‘Mirror Kissers’.
