Ahead of their Galway International Arts Festival show this Friday,
Supporting one of the UK’s most revered dance acts, Leftfield,
HOUSEPLANTS
SHARE NEW REMIX FOR
‘NO STOPPING ME’ (DAITHÍ REMIX)
In anticipation of their performance at the Galway International Arts Festival this weekend, HousePlants share a vibrant new version of their beloved track, ‘No Stopping Me’, remixed by Daithí.
This Friday, 19th July, HousePlants will warm the stage for one of the UK’s most revered dance acts, Leftfield, who headline the festival at the Heineken® Big Top.
Daithí expresses his excitement about the remix and performing it live:
“‘No Stopping Me’ is one always one of my favourite moments in our live shows. There’s such a communal moment when an audience is singing ‘When I hit my stride, there’ll be no stopping me’, you can feel the defiance and the excitement build. I’ve been playing a version of it in my own solo shows and wanted to make a snapshot of it in this current time, something fun to remember this year by.
We’re super excited to be playing the big top this year with Leftfield, the Arts festival is the best time to see Galway City, the place feels alive, and we always have such a fun time playing there.”
Formed in 1988, Leftfield was originally comprised of Neil Barnes and Paul Daley. Leftfield’s legendary live performances, paired with seminal albums “Leftism” (1995) and “Rhythm & Stealth” (1999)—both Mercury Music Prize nominees—solidified their position as true pioneers. The group went on hiatus in 2002 before returning in 2010 for live appearances, now led solely by Barnes.
HousePlants, following their acclaimed 2021 Choice Prize-nominated album ‘Dry Goods’ and the 2022 EP ‘Seaglass’, are back with a new album set for release later this year.
Galway International Arts Festival and Róisín Dubh present Leftfield, with special guests HousePlants, this Friday 19th July at the Heineken Big Top. Doors open 7pm. https://www.giaf.ie/festival/event/leftfield
