The trio are to replace Miles Kane on the London bill…

Band Of Skulls have been added to the bill of the London leg of Xfm’s Winter Wonderland.

The Southampton trio will appear at the O2 Aacdemy Brixton on December 14. They will be replacing Miles Kane who will unfortunately no longer be able to perform on the night due to a double booking with his support slot for Kasabian at The O2.

While we’re disappointed that Miles will no longer be part of our London show, we can’t really begrudge him the chance to play alongside our favourite sons from Leicester.

“I regret that due to my show with Kasabian, I will not be able to appear at the Xfm Winter Wonderland show at Brixton,” says Miles. “I’m really disappointed to miss out on performing with such a great line-up of acts and celebrating another great year for Xfm. Have a fantastic evening and thank you for all your support this year.”

But with Band Of Skulls now on the bill, the show is sure to be an absolute stunner.

Take a look at the video of when BOS played the roof of Xfm Towers last year…
