Announcing The Cure as the headlining act for the Shockwaves NME Awards Big Gig has already made February 26th a hotly anticipated date in next year's calendar.
God Like Genius award winners The Cure will be playing a ninety minute set - a must see for any music fan!
Next on the line up will be very special guests who are still to be announced
Canadian duo Crystal Castles have had a blinding year and having been on the cover of NME in 2008 it only seems right that they join in these annual celebrations. London trio White Lies will be fresh off the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour bus and show you why they are one of the hottest bands breaking through.
The Shockwaves NME Awards Big Gig will take place on February 26th 2009 at London's O2 Arena. Tickets are priced at £30.
