The xx to play Heineken Open’er Festival 2012

Over two years ago, a modest white X on a black background foreshadowed one of the most interesting albums of the decade.

The debut album by The xx will soon have its follow-up, and the band will appear at Heineken Open'er 2012!

One of the most important debuts in recent years, The xx are a real phenomenon on British music scene. Their ever-growing popularity is not an effect of marketing strategies, but of real emotions. And these, even after a year of silence from the band, make The xx one of the most talked-about band in the world, therefore we are even happier to announce Heineken Open'er as one of two festivals, along Primavera Sound, to feature The xx in their line-up the next festival season.

Their performance will promote a new album, to be out in the spring of 2012. The follow-up to their debut is one of the most awaited releases next year, and one of the best guarded secret projects in progress. However, fans can track the band's progress on the record at xx-xx.co.uk. blog.
