We’re only a few months in and 2013 is turning out to be an amazing year for music! We’ve seen the return of classic artists like David Bowie, Depeche Mode, OMD, My Bloody Valentine and Suede and festival performances by The Cure, New Order, Pulp and The Stone Roses. The shows on Strangeways have been overflowing with new artists to the point that we could probably do our best of 2013 shows in April!
