McFLY is the first act announced for Hitchin Live at the Priory with Scouting for Girls and The Hoosiers, while Craig David presents TS5 will play Oxford on 5 August at South Park.
Alongside its founders, the team at Supermodified includes senior talent booker Claire Reilly marketing executive Grace Darby.
“We’re really pleased to be expanding our programme with Reading Live and Leicester Live,” said Suter. “Both locations offer fantastic settings for outdoor music, and we’re excited to bring major artists to new audiences while continuing to build on the success of our existing series. We’re ambitious about the future of Supermodified and look forward to establishing these events as part of each city’s summer calendar.”
