Alabama Shakes
Fri 26 Jun 2015 Pyramid Stage
Southern Soul Traders

Alabama Shakes channelled the spirit of Aretha Franklin, The White Stripes, Janis Joplin and Creedence Clearwater Revival into a debut album, 2012's Girls & Boys, that sold by the truck-load and won them a spot on Later… with Jools Holland. The album quickly became a firm festival favourite - not least at Glastonbury in 2013, where the band performed magnificently in glorious sunshine on the Other Stage and became many people's pick of the weekend.

Keen not to be pigeon-holed as a retro-soul band, the Athens, Alabama four-piece - fronted by the gutsy, golden-voiced Brittany Howard - expanded their sonic palette with 2015 second album, the equally brilliant Sound & Colour, incorporating shoegaze, psychedelia and 90's neo-soul. They came into 6 Music to tell Steve Lamacq about it in March and should not be missed live at Glastonbury this year.
