Dr. Martens & DIY return with the Stand For Something Tour 2016

Hackney MC Paigey Cakey, North East rockers VANT and keyboard-pummelling twins Formation are the first three acts confirmed.

This autumn, Dr. Martens and DIY are once again teaming up for the latest incarnation of the Stand For Something Tour. Over the past four years, it’s hosted the likes of Twin Atlantic, Young Guns, Eagulls and Spector, who have taken to some of the UK’s tiniest stages. This year, however, things are stepping up.

This year’s tour will take place in four cities across the country - hitting up Liverpool, Birmingham and Newcastle before things wrap up with an incredible show in the capital. That’s not all: this year’s tour will come with a special added element – from pit parties to the great outdoors, these shows are set to be unforgettable.

“I just love to see the crowd’s reactions and I just love to feed off people’s energy,” says Paigey Cakey, the first act revealed for the tour. The Hackney-based MC will be heading to The Rainbow Courtyard in Birmingham next month to give fans a taste of latest release ‘RED’.

“If you give me energy, I’m gonna give you more energy. I just love to be on stage and to see supporters that have come out, and people that don’t even know me. I just love entertaining people.”
