Lightning Seeds

35 years after the very first Lightning Seeds singles made their way to record shops, Ian Broudie’s obsession with melody and the magic of recording is a matter of… well not just one record, but a golden run of hits which tells its own story: Pure, Lucky You, The Life Of Riley, Change, Perfect, You Showed Me and Sugar Coated Iceberg have long since become modern standards alongside the definitive football anthem Three Lions, whose four spells at number one have made it one of the 30 best-selling British singles of all time.

Ian Broudie of Lightning Seeds says: “We are very excited to headline one of London’s grandest and most iconic venues. It’s going to be a very special day and we can’t wait”.
