The xx cover Wham's 'Last Christmas' - video

The xx have performed a cover of a festive classic.

The trio played a rendition of Wham's popular hit 'Last Christmas' during their Radio 1 Live Lounge session earlier today (December 17).



Romy Madley Craft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith performed the cut in support of their second studio album Coexist.

The xx recently announced plans for a special series of events next summer. They will headline three sets of 'Night + Day' shows across Europe.

"Night + Day is a series of events, curated by us, to start in the summer of 2013," they explained. "We searched high and low for unique and beautiful locations to stage these shows and picked the artists that we most respect and admire to join us.

"The events will run from early afternoon, with some of our favourite music (and food) to take you from day into night."

The jaunt will include a date in the UK at Osterley Park & House on June 23. Tickets for the shows are on sale now.
