news: Tuesday 15th November 2011

The line-up of acts on February's '2012 NME Awards Shows Tour' in London and five cities around the UK have been announced.

Parisian dance duo Justice will headline with a five-date series of shows in Bristol, London, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Manchester. The series of Awards shows will also play host to acts including The Big Pink, Marina and the Diamonds, Charli XCX, folk-rock duo Slow Club, former-Gallows frontman, Frank Carter and his new project Pure Love, Southampton trio Band of Skulls, tUnE-yArDs, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Australian four-piece Cloud Control, Philadelphian songwriter Kurt Vile, Alabama Shakes, Dane Oh Land, Swedish collective Little Dragon, and The Drums who return to the NME Awards circuit once more to close the series of Shows.

Xavier de Rosnay of Justice says: "We're really looking forward to playing in the UK again - especially in London. One of our favourite memories of playing live was in London when we played at the Astoria just before it closed a few years ago. Since then, we've known just what a great place London is to play. It's really exciting to be playing the tracks from our new album 'Audio, Video, Disco' - we're working on the lightshow now to make sure it looks as amazing as possible."
