FAIL THE Enemy will headline the latest Fresh Thursdays event at the Exchange Arts Centre.

The venue at Russell Street, Keighley, will host the “fresh and original” anthemic hard rock band on June 30 from 7pm, with support acts.

The band recently came first in the annual AMP Awards final, winning time in a recording studio and a filming session.

The Bradford three-piece will also play at Bradford School Proms and the Willow Festival.

The Exchange gig will coincide with the release of Fail The Enemy’s debut single The Mist, and copies will be on sale. The video will be posted to YouTube and Facebook on the night of the gig.

Milton Keynes band Rusty G’s will perform alternative grunge at the Exchange on Friday, June 24 with support from Hinges and Regan.
