The Rapture Announced To Play Parklife 2009

The line-up for Parklife 2009 has just been announced with the surprise inclusion of The Rapture who are easily one of the best bands we’ve seen live and who have been keeping such a low profile over the past couple of years that we thought they’d disbanded.

The Rapture visited NZ for the first time in 2007, 4 years after the release of Echoes which was a big hit here, playing a V Festival sideshow in Auckland at the St James. Lets hope they do same this year.
