The Courtneers step in to play new talent night Holy Cow

The Envy Corp have been forced to drop out of new talent night Holy Cow this evening (October 24) due to a flight cancellation.

The band were due to return from a video shoot in Iowa to play the show, but now will not make it in time.

Their place will be taken by The Courteeners, who will play an acoustic set before heading off to their own previously scheduled gig in London at Water Rats.

The night, run by Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis, will still feature Vampire Weekend, and opening act Alexander Wolfe, a singer-songwriter who was signed up for the night after an appeal on NME.COM earlier in October.

The night takes place at The Social in central London and tickets are available on the door, but the venue is expected to fill up quickly.
