DIY Presents… Our Super Special Headliners Revealed

Remember when we told you that - on Monday 28th May - we’re putting on a very special show at the Old Blue Last? Remember when we wouldn’t tell you the headliners? Well, the time has come…



That’s right! It’s only ruddy Japandroids.

Now, if that’s not the most exciting thing you’ve heard all week, then we just don’t know what is. Want a reminder of all of the details? Of course you do.

This Monday, DIY are putting on a rather special show. And, when we say special, we mean it’s really, really bloody special. In fact, because we can’t contain our excitement - and who can blame us in this heat?! - because it’s Japandroids. In the Old Blue Last. For Free.

So, get yourselves down to the Old Blue Last on Monday 28th May for an extraordinarily good night. Dare we even utter it, possibly the night of the year?!

Because of the nature of this show, we expect it to get pretty busy, pretty quickly. So, to ensure you get in, please head down as early as possible!

We also even managed to speak to Brian King about the nature of such a tiny show, who gave us this insight: ‘From what I understand, the place that we’re playing is quite small, is it not? I’ve never been there myself, but I’ve heard it’s quite small, I know that on this trip over, we’re doing a bunch of shows that are all in really small places, which I’m looking forward to, because the very first time we ever came to London, we played four shows in four days, and we played all really small places. And after that, the places that we came back to play were quite a bit bigger than those places.

‘These days it’s becoming rarer and rarer for us to play those smaller places like we used to play fairly regularly, all the time, and it’s good, it means that more people want to come to see you, and you have to play a bigger room, which is a good thing, but it is nice sometimes to go back and play those small rooms, because there’s a certain connection that you can have in those rooms, where with a small group of people, they can actually see you, really see you, everything that you’re doing, and everyone in the room can feel the heat of everyone else in the room.

‘There’s a certain energy in those, when a small room gets packed full of people that you just can’t, no mater how hard you try, recreate in a bigger place. So I think for people in London who’ve seen us the last couple of times we’ve been there, or after this trip, see us later this year or next year, they’re not going to have quite the same experience of the people who are going to be in those rooms in May. It should be really awesome. I’m looking forward to it.’

Brian’s looking forward to it, we’re looking forward to it. Now, it’s just time for you to look forward to it.
