The Coventry trio were performing in Leeds at the weekend as support for the Kaiser Chiefs and head off to Ibiza this week to launch "Ibiza Rocks"
The main tent is being replaced by a large open stage and will be relocated to a different part of the Memorial Park so that an extra 27,000 visitors can watch The Enemy perform tracks from their number one selling album "We'll Live And Die In These Towns".
Included in this years Godiva Festival line up along side The Enemy will be Exit Calm, an up and coming band that are tipped to be big and are mentored by the Coventry manager who took The Enemy under his wings. Glasvegas will also be taking to the stage during the three day festival, they have also been tipped for the top by music mogul Alan McGee - the man who discovered Oasis. Recently signed to Columbia records, Glasvegas have already won the Radar Award at the NME Awards in March. Their debut album is due out later this summer and is a fusion between "fifties Rock 'n' Roll with a large helping of Jesus and Mary Chain", according to the Coventry Telegraph.
