Arab Strap continue their return with ‘The First Big Weekend Of 2016’ video
Scottish duo are gearing up for a run of 20th anniversary shows.

Cult Scottish group Arab Strap returned recently with a revamped version of hit single ‘The First Big Weekend’, appropriately titled ‘The First Big Weekend Of 2016’. Today, they’ve unveiled a new video for the track.
Splicing together archive footage with a frantic pace, it’s the perfect match for ‘The First Big Weekend Of 2016”s surely-tongue-in-cheek, techno revamp of their 1996 single. Watch it below.
The duo, made up of Aidan Moffat and Malcolm Middleton, are set to play a number of reunion dates in celebration of their 20th anniversary - those are as follows:
OCTOBER
13 London, Electric Brixton
