On 10 June 2011, the Vaccines performed as a support act for the Arctic Monkeys in a 10,000-capacity tent venue at Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield , UK. The Sheffield performance followed a joint trip that the two bands had made to America, during which time the Vaccines made their network television debut, performing ” If You Wanna ” on the Late Show with David Letterman . After the Don Valley gig, the band performed at numerous festivals throughout the world during that year’s summer season (at the time, the band claimed that it had played around 45 festival shows). The Vaccines ended the summer at the Reading and Leeds Festivals , joined on stage by members of the Horrors. In turn, the Vaccines appeared on stage with the Horrors later in the day. The band was named by NME Magazine as the best band of the weekend.
