Circa Waves want to headline Reading & Leeds. We know, they told us. The equivalent of a World Cup win for any indie band, it’s the natural aim for a band operating on their level.
And, let’s be honest, they’ve got the songs for it. Maybe not quite enough of them yet, but the pedigree is there. One blast of ‘Fire Than Burns’ is enough to prove it. Not even their biggest banger, it’s enough to send a sun-kissed Main Stage crowd into raptures.
But then, Circa Waves’ true claim to the crown lies in one place and one place only. Even a guest appearance from Two Door Cinema Club’s Alex Trimble doesn’t come close to the raw indie powerhouse of ’T-Shirt Weather’. As it blasts out across the Berkshire horizon, you can’t help that feel that maybe – just maybe – Circa Waves may be in for a shot of that dream.
