Bloc Party join Keane, Sugababes and Razorlight for our exclusive series of gigs in the countdown to the Q Awards 2008.
The bands will play on consecutive nights, September 29 and 30, October 1 and 2, and tickets will be on sale from 9am on September 1 through www.aloud.com.
This will be Bloc Party's first headlining show since new, and third, album Intimacy came out on August 21 and they headline the evening after Keane, who are also about to release a third album, Perfect Symmetry on October 13. Razorlight have also only played briefly this year including a performance at Scotland’s Rockness Festival. The hugely successful Sugababes, who have notched up six number ones with various line-ups since their first single in 2000, have been working on their sixth album and, with some nice timing, release a new single, Girls, on the day of the Q Awards ceremony itself.
The gigs have been put together by Q and Mean Fiddler in the build up to the Q Awards 2008 – one of the most prestigious and star-studded events in the music calendar - which take place on October 6.
Paul Rees, editor in chief of Q, said: ““Each year we aim to make the Q Awards bigger and better, and to keep delivering a different take on them. Each of the shows will be covered extensively across the whole Q brand and I expect this to be the first of many such initiatives that Q launches in the near future.”
Tickets for the shows will cost £25 plus booking fee. They go on sale from Monday, September 1, at www.aloud.com.
