The Manchester rockers will perform a special outdoor show in the outer bailey of the picturesque venue in July.

The performance will form part of the return of Live at Ludlow Castle, which last year saw thousands of visitors descend on the market town for three days of live music.

On Thursday, July 25, the band, known for chart-toppers 'Getting Away With It' and 'Sit Down', will be joined by Leeds indie band, The Pigeon Detectives.

They will also be supported by Britpop band, Sleeper and up-and-coming four-piece The Clause.
