The View: There's Too Much Politics At Festivals

added 04 May 2011 at 12.32

The band have been telling Xfm they'd play several a week if they could...

The View are already confirmed for Reading and Leeds, T in the Park and Great Escape this summer.

But speaking to Xfm backstage at Camden Crawl the boys told us they get annoyed by the amount of negotiation festivals require these days.

Bassist Kieran Webster told us he thinks it happens too much, "one problem that we find is that they tie you into contracts so you can't do other festivals."

The View headlined the Saturday night of Xfm's two shows at Camden Crawl.
