The Birmingham band will perform the album in full on both days at an open-air venue that has staged Snow Patrol, The Specials and Embrace as well as local lads made good Chiefs.

Crash Records' Ian De-Whytell said: “It’s a really well put together line-up which will get a lot of people very excited.

“Moseley Shoals is a classic album and it will be good to hear it played live in full.

"Shed Seven and The Bluetones are guaranteed to get the crowd going before that.

"It should be a great day in Millennium Square.”
