Britpop Group Sleeper To Reform

New tour dates announced...

Britpop group Sleeper are set to reform for a series of tour dates this year.

The band were part of Britpop's second wave, and stomped around Camden unleashing hits like 'What Do I Do Now?' and 'Inbetweener'.

Literate and fun, Sleeper in 1998 with singer Louise Wener earning acclaim as a novelist and journalist.

Sleeper will reform for a number of tour dates this year, organised by Star Shaped – the shows also feature The Bluetones, Space, Dodgy, My Life Story, and Salad.

This Valentines, we give you, Britpoppers, the sixth band for Star Shaped Festival: the return after nigh on 20 years, completely exclusive (for these dates only!) shows, from… SLEEPER! It was only ever going to be at Star Shaped: The Home of Britpop.”

Star Shaped Festival tour dates are as follows:

July
