MANCHESTER band PINS are the latest act to be added to Stereophonics' huge Wrexham gig this summer.

The female five piece join singer-songwriter Jake Bugg and Welsh rockers Fireroad on the bill for the gig at The Racecourse Ground on Saturday June 2.

PINS hit the headlines last year when they got punk legend Iggy Pop to feature on a track called Aggrophobe that featured on their EP, Bad Thing, the follow-up to their 2015 full-length Wild Nights. The band explained to i-D that they got him to record his spoken word part by asking via e-mail through their booking agent, who happened to be friends with Iggy’s manager. Iggy had this to say about the collaboration: “They sent me a good song and they’re looking for a narration in it, and I liked their music and their picture, so I’m doing that."

When performing at the Racecourse Stadium last year Stereophonics become the first artists to play a live show at Wrexham FC's home since the 1982 Wrexham Festival

Frontman Kelly Jones said: “It's a privilege to have the following we have in Wales. The fans have stuck with us and believed in us no matter what path we have tried.

"We try to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and from doing that we see so many new young fans that have come on board also.

"The stadium shows are a celebration of 20 years of music. Songs that have come honestly and truthfully and then I can't believe I get to hear all those people singing them back to us. I can't wait to play in front of the crowd that made us."
