Birmingham show for Aquilo

They've decided to experiment with different digital approaches to releasing their music, and now Aquilo will showcase their live talents to a Birmingham audience.

Aquilo are playing in Birmingham next month

On the back of the recent release of their latest single Silent Movies, the Lake District-born duo will play the Second City's O2 Institute 3 on April 16.

In November last year, Aquilo made the bold decision to split their second album into two parts, releasing the first five-tracks of ii as the ii (Side A) EP.

They know how to market themselves in the age of music streaming, with their tracks consistently amassing over a million listens. And ii continues Aquilo’s progression from bedroom-based laptop producers to innovators.

And 2018 should only get bigger for them - May 4 will see that first half of ii given a CD and vinyl format release to please hard record collectors.

They have just completed a huge European tour throughout this month that included stops in Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague, and now it is time for the British leg to take off.

Tickets to the O2 Institute 3 show, priced at £13, are available here.
