NME Awards Show Tour Announced
The Shockwaves NME Awards Shows tour 2008 has been announced. The tour will hit Manchester and Glasgow for the first time,
on top of the London dates. The tour will host 32 Nights, over 120 bands across 3 cities.
Conor McNicholas NME editor said: ” For the last few years I’ve spoken to music fans across the UK who have – despite the excitement of the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour – eyed the London Shows jealously and complained about the focus on the capital. I wanted to change that and finally we can now bring this celebration of live music to both Manchester and Glasgow. Doing the gigs is an achievement in itself but doing it with this brilliant line-up is amazing. Today Manchester and Glasgow. Tomorrow, well, who knows where it might end?”
The NME Award hit the Manchester Academy, Academy 2 and Apollo whilst in Glasgow Barrowland, ABC, Classic Grand and Garage play hosts to the NME Tour in February 2008.
Bands playing London Carling Acamedy Brixton include Babyshambles, and Courtenners.
The Shockwaves NME Awards Shows have a hard-earned reputation for showcasing the very best in both new and established music talent and this year’s line-up is once again testament to this. With a swarm of today’s hottest talent swooping on Manchester and Glasgow, including headline performances from The Cribs, Richard Hawley, Justice, Babyshambles, Black Francis, CSS, Dizzee Rascal, The Wombats and Young Knives, these shows CANNOT and MUST NOT be missed!
