Levellers to celebrate album milestone at Nottingham show
Rabble-rousing folk-rockers Levellers are heading to Nottingham as part of a tour marking the 35th anniversary of their platinum-selling second album Levelling The Land.
The record was released in 1991 and features the hit singles One Way, 15 Years and Far From Home, plus favourites The Game, Liberty Song, Riverflow, Boatman and the incendiary Battle Of The Beanfield.
Levellers followed that release with the chart-topping album Zeitgeist a few years later, solidifying the band at the forefront of British music, as a counter-cultural voice alongside contemporaries such as Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede, Supergrass and more. The cultural and musical legacy of Levellers runs deep with echoes of their work found in contemporary music, grassroots political movements and the evolution of British festival culture.
This summer saw the 23rd instalment of their hugely popular Beautiful Days Festival in Devon, which featured Super Furry Animals, Madness and Levellers as headliners.
Levellers are famed for their high-tempo live performances.
Bassist Jeremy Cunningham said: “This year we celebrate 35 years of Levelling the Land, so we’re looking forward to getting out on the road and playing some of our favourite songs from that album – plus some other classics too.
"We’ll see you there.”
Levellers play Rock City on Thursday, November 19 where they will be supported by hotly-tipped Essex punk-duo The Meffs.
