Razorlight, the Manic Street Preachers, The Killers, Kasabian, the famous names just keep on coming in the line-up for this year's Tennant's Vital Festival in Belfast.

And right there among the chart-topping bands are Fermanagh's own Nice 'n' Sleezy.

The talented boys secured their place in the Vital line-up as part of their prize for winning the BBC Rockschool competition earlier this year. Sleezy have the honour of opening the two-day festival in Ormeau Park, when they take to the stage next Tuesday 21 August at 5pm to get the crowd going. They will be followed that evening by The Hold Steady, The View, The Manic Street Preachers, and Razorlight.

Now in the final stages of preparation for opening Northern Ireland's biggest music festival, the Sleezy boys say they are delighted to be on the main stage and are very much looking forward to the gig.

Aside from the Vital Festival the summer has proven to be extremely busy for Nice n Sleezy who have played a number of open air gigs such as the recent Glasgowbury in Draperstown and the BBC Blast at Custom Square in Belfast.

They have also been back and forward to England where they opened gigs for American band Bullet Boys and Enzuff Enzuff. Sleezy also headlined some London shows where they were supported by Swedish bands Panzer Princess and Innocent Rosie.

Immediate plans for the future see Sleezy back in the studio for further recording in September. They are also looking forward to playing to their home fans at the popular Rock The Lough event which takes place at the end of August.
