Razorlight have sold more than four million albums worldwide, with their debut album Up All Night capturing the incendiary energy of the early 00s.

The Human League, who performed live in Scarborough earlier this summer, headline the Touchdown Festival on Sunday, August 24 with 80s Calling – an all-out 80s extravaganza.
The retro pop vibe also includes sets from Bananarama, Tony Hadley, Toyah, Altered Images and T’Pau.
With a career spanning more than four decades Sheffield-formed The Human League notched up nine top 10 singles in the UK.

“We all totally look forward to playing there.
"It’s a super friendly vibe and they’re people that want to enjoy themselves.”
