Bland Brand Bands head NME tour

9 November 2010

OK, so I might be doing the ENTIRE line-up a disservice, but this year’s NME Awards Tour line-up is a little on a the lightweight side…

Crystal Castles and Magnetic Man might be worth getting out of bed for, but the line-up is rounded off with Everything Everything and the “oh my god I can’t believe these guys actually exist” The Vaccines.

February
03 Glasgow O2 Academy
04 Manchester Academy
07 Newcastle O2 Academy
08 Nottingham Rock City
09 Leeds O2 Academy
11 Norwich UEA
12 Birmingham O2 Academy
13 Cardiff Uni Great Hall
15 Bristol O2 Academy
16 Bournemouth O2 Academy
17 Brighton Dome
19 London O2 Academy Brixton

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

What do you think?

    Awesome? A trifle strong term for such a middling band

    I quite liked the Vaccines on record (I even played them on the Podcast last week (http://www.mixcloud.com/adge/adges-podcast-no18/), but they were SHOCKING on Jools Holland and that put me right off them. I still don’t get EE though….

    But overall that isn’t too bad a line up is it?

    I’m with hughes was arguing with some folks on Twitter and couldnt believe that quite a few people seemed to like them!

    When I stated okay they are better than The Drums some people seemed to defend them too!

    Pretty big lineup though CC/MM even if MM are pretty guff.
