The “Communion” album by Years & Years was the fastest selling debut album of this decade, up until another EXIT star, Rag’N’Bone Man, took over with “Human”. Following performances at Glasto, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and other leading festivals of the world, they are arriving to EXIT! They will be bringing new songs written in collaboration with the electro-pop icons, Pet Shop Boys.
