Peace, Pulled Apart by Horses, Dirty Hit, Live at Leeds and lots more to speak at DIY’s Do It Yourself Neu Tour!
We’ve got a full day of speakers and gigs coming to Brighton, Birmingham and Leeds this month.
Earlier this year, we unveiled Do It Yourself: a special issue aimed at people wanting to work in the music industry, featuring helpful stories, tips and tricks from those who’ve been there and done it successfully already. From artists to record labels, promoters, journalists and beyond, no matter what area of this business we call music you’re interested in, it’s got you covered.
Then, we announced our inaugural Do It Yourself Neu Tour - a series of three events in Birmingham (November 26), Brighton (28) and Leeds (29), featuring panels in the day and a gig in the evening, all for the teeny price of £5 per city.
Now, we can reveal the full line up for all three events!
As well as the already announced live bills, across the week we’ll be bringing you speakers from bands including Peace, Pulled Apart by Horses, Swim Deep and LIFE, as well as top industry bods from super label Dirty Hit (home to The 1975, Wolf Alice and more), Live at Leeds festival, the Brudenell Social Club and loads more.
