History

Little World Festival was inspired by the band's last trip to Meribel, in 2008. On that visit, they played a free gig on the piste to 6,000 fans in what marked a triumphant return for a group of friends who, years earlier, had performed three sets a day in the resort's bars. The 2008 trip formed the basis of a live DVD, 'Come Home', featuring narration by friend-of-the-band Kiefer Sutherland.
