Amazon Music have revealed Franz Ferdinand as the latest act to appear at their UK City Sessions, set to take place this Saturday (January 18) at 9pm GMT. The event will take place at Aviva Studios in Manchester via live stream, available to music lovers on both Prime Video and Amazon Music UK’s channel on Twitch.
Amazon’s City Sessions have hosted a number of intimate events across the United States and Latin America, giving viewers an intimate and unique experience to witness exclusive sets from some of music’s biggest and greatest artists. Amazon Music has welcomed performances from Kings of Leon, Glass Animals, Wallows, Nelly Furtado, Andra Day and The Black Crowes, prior to the announcement of Franz Ferdinand’s performance.
The upcoming event follows the recent release of Franz Ferdinand’s newest album, ‘The Human Fear’ which released last week (January 10). Hailing from Scotland in 2002, the Scottish rock band have become renowned for their stylish and catchy rock tracks with infectious beats. Their biggest and most notable hit ‘Take Me Out’, released on a LP of the same name in 2004, placed their name on the map as ones to watch. With their reputation in modern rock, it is no surprise Amazon Music will be featuring an exclusive set from the band given the recent experimentation present in ‘The Human Fear’.
Aviva Studios will host the event alongside their ongoing partnership with Factory International. Factory International are the prominent organisation behind Manchester International Festival (MIF) since 2007, a biennial programme which showcases work within the arts from creatives that are from diverse backgrounds and experiences. The upcoming event at Aviva Studios aims to develop dynamic venues and creative spaces across Greater Manchester, to establish the prominent presence of arts in future culture.
Franz Ferdinand’s exclusive one-off performance at Aviva Studios for Amazon Music’s UK City Sessions will be streamed on Prime Video, providing viewers with an unmatched experience from the comfort of their own homes. The ‘No You Girls’ performers will no doubt treat fans to lots of well-loved tracks alongside new tracks from their latest release, ‘The Human Fear’.
