Armed with a cannon stuffed with household hits, the Inspiral Carpets will support Echo & The Bunnymen at The Gigantic Indie All Dayer at Manchester Academy on May 23.

Following on from their triumphant comeback in 2014 with their high flying Spitfire single and a warmly received self-titled album to boot, the heroic Mancunian band will continue the celebrations at Gigantic. The band will be playing with their full and original 1983 line-up, which has seen the return of their iconic front-man, Stephen Holt.
