They have performed numerous headline sets at the legendary Reading & Leeds, Download, TRNSMT and Isle of Wight festivals.
Following celebrated sets headlining this year’s TRNSMT Festival and on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival, the band have received a nomination from Rolling Stone for The Live Act category at this year’s awards as well as high praise from the likes of The Guardian: ‘an absolutely triumphant reminder that they… have a formidable greatest hits set when they need it’ and Kerrang!: ‘a masterclass in joy and professionalism, with every element finely tuned’.
To celebrate the release of their previous album - UK number 1 ‘A Celebration of Endings’ - the band performed the record in full on their ground-breaking livestream from Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom in 2020. They later won Best Entertainment at the BAFTA Scotland Awards for this livestream performance. Biffy have received countless awards, including: four NME Awards (2 x Best British Band, Best Live Band and Best Music Video); five Kerrang! Awards (2 x Best British Band, Classic Songwriter, Best Album and Best Music Video); and two Q Awards (Best Live Band and Best Album). They’ve also been nominated for three BRIT Awards (all for Best British Group, most recently in 2021) and a Mercury Prize.
