Alt-J Confirm Second Show At London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire
The four-piece add a second date at the West London venue.

They’re already hot on the heels of becoming one of the biggest bands everrr (just you wait and see, we’ll prove it) and the proof is in the pudding.
That’s right, Alt-J have added a second date at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire on the 18th January.
The four-piece were originally scheduled to play their largest headline show to date at the West London venue, but now, they’ve decided to do it twice. Not too shabby.
