Reading + Leeds 2012, Graham Coxon

The holder of an unsurpassable rock heritage as lead guitarist in Blur, Graham Coxon has rightfully made a name for himself on his own, winning an NME Award for Best Solo Artist and releasing 8 heavily acclaimed albums characterized by sweeping melodies and an air of beautifully bewildering ingenuity.

Constantly innovating in the art-rock spectrum, Coxon displays ridiculous talent in playing multiple instruments to produce tightly created, purposeful pop songs.

His fifth appearance at Reading + Leeds - the last since 2005 - will once again prove that Coxon isn't just for the brit-pop faithful. Come watch the man Noel Gallagher declared 'the most gifted guitarist of his generation'.
