[Programme update] - Belle and Sebastian will not appear at INmusic festival #15 due to a scheduling conflict

The band's statement in its entirety reads as follows: "It’s with our regret that Belle & Sebastian will no longer appear at INmusic festival Festival in Croatia next year due to a scheduling conflict. We look forward to playing in Croatia at some point in the near future."

[9.6.2021] Belle and Sebastian was founded by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David in Glasgow in 1994 where they released their debut album ‘Tigermilk’ in 1996 under their college label Electric Honey in a 1,000 copy edition, making the original vinyl release a true indie collector’s item nowadays. That same year they released ‘If You're Feeling Sinister’ under Jeepster Records, which will re-release their cult debut album in 1999, as well as their next three studio albums – ‘The Boy With An Arab Strap’, ‘Fold Your Hands Child’, ‘You Walk Like a Peasant’ and ‘Storytelling’. Four more studio albums followed under the Rough Trade and Matador labels – ‘Dear Catastrophe Waitress’ (2003), ‘The Life Pursuit’ (2006), ‘Belle and Sebastian Write About Love’ (2010), ‘Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance’ (2015) – and their most recent release from 2019, the original movie score for ‘Days of the Bagnold Summer’, where the lead male role is played by Nick Cave's son, Earl Cave. Belle and Sebastian, with the band name taken from a TV adaptation of a French novel about a boy and his dog, are undoubtedly one of the most important indie pop bands and the genre's heavyweights with a fan base so loyal and dedicated that they were even officially elected „Scotland's greatest band“ amongst a very impressive list of Scottish musicians in 2005. Their long-awaited debut performance in Croatia will take place as part of the postponed anniversary edition of INmusic festival.

Belle and Sebastian will join The Killers, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Deftones, and White Lies at the postponed edition of INmusic festival #15 which will take place at Zagreb's lake Jarun from June 20th to June 22nd, 2022. A limited number of three day tickets for INmusic festival #15 are available via the official festival webshop for just 70 EUR, as well as 7-day festival camping tickets for just 35 EUR, while already purchased tickets for INmusic festival #15, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, remain valid for new INmusic festival #15 dates in 2022.
