Reading 2009

Billy Talent

After a decade of hard work and near on non-stop touring BILLY TALENT broke through in to the punk mainstream with their eponymous debut ‘Billy Talent’ in 2003, the album went on to become triple platinum in Canada with success soon following across Europe and the US.  ‘Billy Talent II’ followed in 2006, Spawning hits such as the infectious ‘Devil In A Midnight Mass’ and ‘Fallen Leaves’, the album has sold over a million copies worldwide.

Renowned for the sheer energy of their live shows Billy Talent first graced our shores with their live show at the Reading and Leeds Festival in 2003, and have steadily built a fiercely loyal fan base here in the UK, with three UK headline tours and numerous festival appearances. With a new album due in June, these shows are sure to see them replicate their Stateside success in the UK.
