Lead singer Lee Matthews said: “It feels like the right time for us to step up to bigger festivals, we are a bit older and wiser and we drink a lot less and don’t party as hard.
“This is probably due to the fact that 3 of us are fathers now. We have been hoping to get into better and bigger festivals for a few years now and we were on the short list for beautiful days last year, making the lineup this is year is basically down to Pestering DMF Music into it and Rob has been working his tail off to sort it out.
“Obviously it means the world to us and it comes at the end of a frantic 2month festival stint so will will be supper tight. We are Already looking at our festival list for next year and I think this is the way The Vooz will be heading in the future it’s all about the festivals for us now.”
