2012 NME Awards Tour Line-Up And Dates Announced

The line-up for next year’s NME Awards Tour has been announced.

Two Door Cinema Club are to headline the 2012 tour - which will kick off in Glasgow in February - with Metronomy, Tribes, and Azealia Banks completing the bill.

After Glasgow, the bands will go on to Newcastle, Manchester, Cardiff, Bristol and more.

Two Door Cinema Club singer Alex Trimble told the NME: ‘We feel a real sense of achievement to have made it this far and be one among the incredible list of headliners on the NME Awards Tour.’

While Metronomy said: ‘It’s pretty exciting to be part of a travelling tour, a bit like a circus or something. It’s been a while since we did a tour this long with the same bands for the whole thing, so hopefully there will be some camaraderie between the bands.’

Tickets will go on general sale at 9am on Friday 11th November. Full tour dates can be found below.
