Overview
The line-up for the infamous Shockwaves NME Awards Tour is ready to rock. The Cribs will headline the UK and Ireland's most hotly anticipated annual tour, with Joe Lean And The Jing Jang Jong, Does It Offend You, Yeah? and The Ting Tings completing the stellar line up for the Shockwaves NME Awards Tour, which kicks off in Belfast on 29th January 2008.
The Shockwaves NME Awards Tour has become a legendary starting block for bands on the road to greatness, having booked (at the time) mere unknowns such as Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs, who all went on to become the biggest and most critically acclaimed band of the year.
