Friedberg

Friedberg are gearing up for a busy year ahead, including shows at SXSW in Austin and a performance at this year’s Great Escape Festival. The band are supporting rising Black Country duo Big Special in May, Placebo UK supports in June and just announced supporting German indie rock band Giant Rooks (who’ve just had a number 1 album in Germany) on their forthcoming US tour in April.

Formed in 2019 by the Austrian-born, London/Berlin-based Anna Friedberg (writer, vocals, guitar, cowbells and percussion), the line up is completed by Emily Linden (guitar, vocals), Cheryl Pinero (bass, vocals) and Laura Williams (drums). Friedberg’s early success came from single ‘Go Wild’ – a runaway hit that featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack, and in BBC's Normal People – and their stellar debut EP ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’, a razor-sharp collection of belters designed for the live stage.

The band has made major waves in Europe with performances at Eurosonic (+ ARTE TV Live Session), Open Air St. Gallen (Switzerland), Europavox, Popfest Vienna (Headliner), Haldern Pop main stage (Germany), Heimspiel Knyphausen (Germany), Reeperbahn, a U.S tour with Hot Chip, who they also supported at Brixton Academy in London, UK supports with Placebo and high profile stadium support shows with AnnenMayKantereit in Germany.
