It seems we’ve posted about Cardiff melodic post-hardcorers Holding Absence a lot already this week but they’re at the forefront yet again with the announcement that they are adding MORE shows to their 2017 lineup! Alongside the recently announced We Are The Ocean support slot are some shows with Blood Youth and Loathe a load of headliners AND a slot at Download 2017!
Frontman Lucas Woodland says; “We’re very happy to be back on the road this March & April! In 2016 we played just under 30 shows in 6 months, and this year we’re really gunning to try to hit triple figures. We really want to take advantage of all the opportunities that are presenting themselves to us this year, and to prove to everyone through our hard work, that these opportunities are merited. 20 shows in 30 days is definitely a good way to kick things off! We’re also very excited to be sharing the stage with some great bands – We Are The Ocean, Blood Youth and Loathe – as well as some other very exciting unannounced acts. We can’t wait.”
