DIY and Dr. Martens return for Stand For Something Tour 2015

This autumn, Dr. Martens and DIY will teaming up once again to bring you the third round of the Stand For Something Tour, and it’s set to be bigger than ever. Having already played host to the likes of Don Broco, Eagulls, Lower Than Atlantis and Young Guns during the previous two years’ events, 2015’s edition promises to be just as intimate, just as sweaty and just as chaotic. Taking place in six cities across the UK, the tour will be making stops in Glasgow, Norwich, Leeds, Belfast and Sheffield, before things draw to a close in the capital with the shows set to be some of the most raucous so far.

“You can’t get lost in them for one thing,” says Dutch Uncles frontman Duncan Wallis, who will be leading his band through a headline performance at the iconic venue Nice N Sleazy, which lies at the heart of Glasgow, a place Wallis has a particularly fond memory of…

“I remember being in dire need of a veggie fix the last time we played there,” he remembers. “It was day 12 of a tour and emotions were running high from the long journey and getting caught in a constant sideways rain on Sauchiehall street. The only option they had was a deep fried veggie haggis burger and in hindsight it was a refreshingly unapologetic local delicacy, but at the time all I wanted to do was cry. Now I always take my own veg to Glasgow.”
