Maximo Park promise new material at ’emotional’ Great Escape live comeback

Newcastle band will play NME gig at Brighton festival in May

Maximo Park have promised to play “three or four” new songs during their UK live comeback at The Great Escape this year.

The Newcastle band are headlining an NME gig at Brighton Dome on the opening night of the May 10-12 festival, their first UK live date of the year. They’ll also play at Newcastle’s Revolution festival and Kendal Calling, along with a handful of European dates.

Speaking to NME, frontman Paul Smith told fans to expect an “exciting, emotional and energetic show” at The Great Escape, adding:

We’re the kind of band who rise to the occasion.
