LAURAN HIBBERD
19-Nov-22 O2 Academy

Isle Of Wight power pop specialist Lauran Hibberd released her debut album Garageband Superstar earlier this year on Virgin Music. Described as "dad rock for your daughters" by Hibberd herself, the album is filled to the brim with charisma and satire-fuelled anthems. The DIY Magazine Class of 2022 stars remarkable potential is reinforced by the groundswell of support across the press landscape (The Guardian, The Times, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Dork, DIY, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, NYLON, Clash, Gigwise, Kerrang, Rock Sound, Upset) over the last few years, as well as significant praise across the BBC Radio 1(Clara Amfo, Jack Saunders, Gemma Bradley) and BBC 6 Music (Chris Hawkins) airwaves, as she tackles the next phase in her thrilling development.

SEA GIRLS
19-Nov-22 O2 Academy

Off the back of a rapturous summer of festival dates, and looking ahead to their highly anticipated UK headline tour in November/December, indie pop heroes Sea Girls have dropped their exquisite new song Falling Apart - listen here.

Kicking off mid-November, Sea Girls will take on seven monster shows including what will be a truly special night at Londons Alexandra Palace on 1st December.

YARD ACT
22-Nov-22 O2 Saint Lukes

Yard Act have built a sound that speaks inherently to their birthplace of Leeds, West Yorkshire and ties together observations from all walks of modern British life. Across the course of 2020 and into early 2021, the quartet released four increasingly coruscating, hilariously dark singles with The Trappers Pelts, Fixer Upper, Peanuts and Dark Days all securing BBC 6 Music airplay, and developing a remarkable, ever increasing fanbase. Pulling off a debut album in a pandemic isnt easy, but Yard Act made it work with their debut album The Overload receiving 4* reviews from the likes of NME & The Guardian.

FLORENCE + THE MACHINE
27-Nov-22 OVO Hydro

Florence + the Machine released her 5th studio album Dance Fever, earlier this year, hitting the number 1 spot in the UK charts on release, marking her forth album to achieve this feat. An album that sees Florence at the peak of her powers, coming into a fully realised self-knowledge, poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculine and feminine, redemptive, celebratory, stepping fully into her place in the iconic pantheon.


HOLLY HUMBERSTONE
29-Nov-22 SWG3

Having released her critically acclaimed second EP The Walls Are Way Too Thin, about being lost and questioning where you belong last year, Holly has become the UKs next great songwriting talent, with over 260M global streams.

December

PLACEBO
3-Dec-22 O2 Academy

Over the course of more than 25 years, and over 13 million album sales, Placebo have shown themselves to be masters at cataloguing the human condition. The bands unique way of examining both its flaws and beauty has for a long time made them a refuge for those who felt that the trappings of tradition, and the mainstream, were exactly that – a trap. Placebo continue to shine a light on the aspects of our society that are all too often viewed by some with scepticism at best, and hatred at worst.
