NME Tour

Shockwaves NME Tour, O2 Academy, Newcastle
February 4, 7.00pm, £16

If you are the type of person who owns a Topman store card, describes things as ‘random’, and likes their jeans of the spray-on variety, then this may be the most un-missable event of your barely burgeoning year. Previous NME tours have showcased Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs and The Ting Tings. Don’t let that put you off as this year’s bill is one of the strongest ever, featuring the forlorn delights of The Macabees, the disturbingly sprightly Bombay Bicycle Club and the achingly trendy Drums. Here’s a tip for you, not to be missed are The Big Pink and their thrilling take on My Bloody Valentine-esque shoe-gaze.
