Two Door Cinema Club: UK festival favourites

These three lads from Bangor in Northern Ireland (rather than the Welsh one) formed their Two Door Cinema Club after meeting at school, taking their name from a mispronunciation of their local picture house Tudor Cinema. Debut album Tourist History was an instant hit, winning the Choice Music Prize for Irish Album of the Year, with the band donating their £10,000 winnings to charity. The group featured at a number of major festivals that year, wowing crowds at Leeds (where they have become almost resident performers) and Glastonbury with upbeat hits such as "Something Good Can Work".

Within a few years they'd become bona fide stars, propelled by frontman Alex Trimble's terrific performance of the track "Caliban's Dream" to a global audience at the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony. Buoyed by the exposure, their second album Beacon hit number two in the UK chart and the top spot in Ireland a week later. In October 2016, the band released their third album Gameshow (UK number five), a more complex effort inspired by late music icons Prince and David Bowie. NME praised the record, saying: "By overtly embracing radio pop, Gameshow adds further froth to the wave of popified guitar music that Two Door Cinema Club triggered by giving rise to Bastille and The 1975. That they do it with such panache, melody and inventive edge will further inspire this new synthetic indie strain to hold themselves to higher artistic standards and maybe even become a full-blown genre worth worshipping."

With the group now fully-fledged arena-fillers, there's never been a better time to get on board with their upbeat indie-rock sounds: buy Two Door Cinema Club tickets at StubHub UK today.
