Spector for DIY & Dr. Martens' #STANDFORSOMETHING Tour • News • DIY Magazine

This autumn, DIY is teaming up with Dr. Martens to present the #STANDFORSOMETHING tour: Five cities, five shows, five amazing headliners who produced music from the heart. We’ll be bringing the party to Manchester,

Bristol, London, Nottingham and Glasgow to give you the best Saturday night you’ve had all year. Earlier this month we announced the first name on the bill: Young Guns. Giving fans one of the final chances to see them before they start work on the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Bones’, they headline the Bristol leg on 12th October.

Now we’re very pleased to announce the second headliner: Spector will be playing London’s Birthdays on 26th October.

What do you stand for, Spector’s Fred Macpherson?
‘What’s the phrase? ‘If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything’. We stand for trying to break down any of the few, outdated, remaining barriers between being in an indie band and being a pop group in the 21st Century. We stand for entertainment; the recognition that with art and bands, entertainment sits in the middle. There’s as much truth in entertainment as there is in art. We stand for being honest with yourself, and enjoying what you enjoy. There is no shame. Like what you like.’

Tickets will be available later this month; sign up at drmartens.com to be kept up to date.
