Milburn – Joe Carnall Jr, brother Louis, Tom Rowley and Joe Green – called it a day in 2008, frustrated with their lack of mainstream success as they watched Sheffield friends’ bands such as Arctic Monkeys and Reverend and the Makers make it big.

It seemed the Mercury Records signing may be remembered only as an influence on more successful artists still to come – a band’s band.

But their music and fan base refused to die, with chants of ‘Miiiilburn’ at other band’s gigs, as their songs reached a new generation thanks to the shiny new toy called social media.

Now, more than 10-years later and with a sense of unfinished business, the band who kick started the Sheffield revival are back.

The Courteeners, Arctic Monkeys and even a One Direction-er - Lpuis Tomlinson - have been falling over themselves to lavish praise on the once defunct four-piece.

Overwhelming public demand saw Milburn sell out four anniversary hometown shows at Sheffield's O2 Academy, when 10,000 tickets sold in under five minutes and a further 11,000 tickets went for a sold out UK tour.

They played a 12,000 capacity hometown show at Don Valley Bowl in June and have been growing their fan base with festival appearances all summer.
