Copenhagen, Denmark (August 1st, 2014) Just a few days after announcing the Winter Tour for this November, Mew – quite surprisingly – let us know that there will be another summer show on top of Northside Festival where fans saw Johan Wohlert on stage for the first time after an eight-year-long break. At first, looking

Mew has announced to be playing at this Summer’s Vanguard Music Festival in early August. This new festival will be held for the second time this year (in Copenhagen) and it is expected that the same new songs can be heard here as at Northside Festival earlier this month. Tickets for these two-day festivities (August
