Ever since the band formed in 1994 Belle and Sebastian have continued to grow in popularity. Their music became adored worldwide as word was spread about their songs, and such songs were quick to be used in popular film and television shows. It is no surprise that fans are ecstatic at their new UK and European tour. The wonders of a live performance by Belle and Sebastian was showcased in their LP which was released in December last year. The creative effort of their live album, called ‘What To look For In Summer‘,features a number of their live performances from last year, including the exclusive ‘Boaty Weekender’. ‘What To look For In Summer‘ was covered by mxdwn and you can read about the LP here. A press release, that is mentioned in the article, stated that ‘What To look For In Summer‘ is “the sound of a band that’s always moving forward, a picture of Belle and Sebastian in 2019 that gives equal weight to early days and recent years”. We can only expect good things from a UK and European Tour.
