The VO5 NMA Awards Shows will feature headline dates from Franz Ferdinand, Peace, The Sherlocks, A2 and more, and thus will bring an eclectic mix of artists at the forefront of indie-rock, psych-pop and dance to some of London’s best venues.
Franz Ferdinand says: “Our O2 Academy Brixton gigs have always been intense affairs and the VO5 NME Awards Show there in February will be, but even more bigly.”
Speaking on the VO5 NME Awards Shows and VO5 NME Awards Road Trip, NME editor-in-chief Mike Williams, commented: “This year’s line-up of London shows is the best in recent memory, showcasing everything from exciting underground talent like rapper A2 to legendary indie heroes Franz Ferdinand. But we haven’t stopped there, and 2018 sees the launch of a brand new nationwide tour, the VO5 NME Awards Road Trip, where tons of our favourite bands and artists are coming to DJ and throw a party in a town near you courtesy of our friends at Propaganda. Dance floors of the UK, you have been warned.”
