After coming to the brink in 2014 Deaf Havana appeared at Reading & Leeds with the intention to clear their debts and call it a day. Their prime time slot on the Radio 1 stage this year marks a triumphant return to a festival that’s marked their highs and lows over ‘The Past Six Years’.
Since opening the main stage in 2012, Deaf Havana have gone through different forms, and arrive at Reading having released ‘Rituals’, a well-executed pop reinvention. Backed today by a choir as on the new record, the Hunstanton rockers take nothing for granted, grasping every opportunity.
