Texas

Texas and Del Amitri, two Scottish bands from Glasgow, perform together at the Leeds First Direct Bank Arena. The evening is a concert by two acts from the pop, rock and indie tradition.

Texas is a Scottish pop rock band formed in Glasgow in 1986, classed as alternative rock. Signed to Mercury Records, the band released its debut album, Southside, in 1989. Its music sits between pop and rock, with the band's career built on that debut record and the songs that followed it.

Del Amitri is a British alternative rock band formed in Glasgow in 1983. The group signed to Chrysalis Records and released its self-titled first album in 1985. Both bands therefore share Glasgow roots and emerged in the 1980s, which places them in the same generation of Scottish guitar-based bands.

The concert takes place at the Leeds First Direct Bank Arena, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Leeds. The night suits listeners who follow 1980s and 1990s guitar pop and alternative rock, and anyone interested in two bands from the same Scottish city performing on one bill.
