GP has already appeared at the likes of Primavera, Mutek and Sasquatch.

It’s been nine months since the release of ‘Lucky Shiner’, a debut album that’s firmly placed Gold Panda among the most exciting and innovative new artists of recent times, garnering various plaudits including the coveted Guardian First Album Award. Since then, the Marriage EP sold out in 24 hours when it was released for Record Store Day, and the artist has been touring incessantly across the globe.
