Beginning with a clutch of UK warm up dates – see ash-official.com/tourdates for details – Ash kick off their festival season with a headline performance on the John Peel stage at Glastonbury on June 27th and wrap up with Reading / Leeds festivals in August.
Meanwhile the A-Z series continues a pace. Recent single Binary – letter Q - saw Ash dig through their archive to compile the accompanying video, unearthing footage from their lost DIY slasher movie featuring Coldplay, Dave Grohl and Charlotte Hatherley. The video rapidly spread across the blogosphere even turning up on Coldplay's facebook page.
By the time Ash hit the stage at Reading / Leeds they'll be close to releasing letter X in the series and heading towards the culmination of this groundbreaking, singles only, year long campaign.
Along the way the band have collaborated with artists including Russell Lissack from Bloc Barty - who joined them on their recent tour on keyboard and guitar – and Emmy The Great.
A-Z Vol 1 is available now - with limited edition CD/DVD formats featuring an A-Z tour diary filmed last autumn.
