This May, internationally acclaimed band, Razorlight will make their first appearance of 2012 at Crooked Ways music festival in Pontefract, West Yorkshire. The Band will be playing alongside a host of other renowned artists from around the world, as well as the best local talent on the Crooked Ways Presents stage. A full roster of other artists will be announced in the next few weeks. 

Scott Ward, Crooked Ways Marketing Director, commented “We are all thrilled to have Razorlight headline the inaugural Crooked Ways. We're all music fans and have been involved with bands and concerts for a number of years so we thought it was important not just to book someone with a reputation as a great live band, but someone we all genuinely liked as well. Having a band like Razorlight play in our town is a huge thing for us. "

Razorlight commented “We’re really looking forward to Crooked Ways. By May we’ll have been in the studio for weeks recording the new album so we’ll be really excited to be outside playing a big show. It’s what we do best. Should be a great day.”

Crooked Ways is an independent music festival, named in homage to an early 20th Century book which satirises life in Pontefract. The festival is expecting 14,000 visitors through its gates and will be held in Pontefract Park in the shadow of the town's famous racecourse on 26th May 2012.
