This April, we're teaming up with Kilimanjaro to lead two of the country's most exciting new bands, HotWax and Big Special, on their annual Now & Next Tour. And as the countdown approaches until the tour officially begins, special guests Asia and Grandma's House are excited to announce who will be joining them as support.
The run will be split into two legs, with black country punk duo Big Special leading the first five shows alongside Grandma's House, with performances by Slate, The Pill, Really Good Time, Saloon Dion and Alien Chicks will each perform separate shows. . They kick off at Club Ifor Bach in Cardiff on Wednesday 3 April and travel to Oxford, Sheffield, Brighton and Southampton throughout the remainder of the first week.
Taking over the baton, the second half of the tour will be headlined by Asia's main support, Trout, Dube, Brenda, Kat Ryan, and Nexdia, who will perform an opening set rotation, while hot rock trio Hot Wax will headline the second half of the tour. It will decorate the top. They begin performances at Birkenhead Future Yard on Tuesday 9th April, followed by performances in Manchester, Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds.
Following last year's Now & Next tour with Lynks and VLURE, it's sure to be a lively and celebratory tour from two of DIY's hottest new faces.
Tickets cost £12.50 for all shows and are on sale now via myticket.com (two of the shows are already sold out, so be quick!).
