Everything on the NME Awards and shows
More shows have just been announced around the awards ceremony.
NME have announced headline shows surrounding the NME Awards 2018 ceremony.
Liam Gallagher is set to take away the Godlike Genius award at the event on the 14 February at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, as well as delivering a live performance.
He’ll follow in the footsteps of the likes of Suede, Coldplay, and Pet Shop Boys who took the accoladte at the NME Awards 2017.
“Every once in a while you’re faced with a decision that you might call a total no-brainer. Giving Liam Gallagher the 2018 Godlike Genius award falls into that category,” NME Editor in Chief Mike Williams said.
“Through his history, the tunes, the swagger and the sense of humour, Liam is one of the most iconic rock stars of all time. He’s a frontman who knows the job description – look cool, belt it out, be totally Godlike – and I can’t wait to see him take his rightful place on the throne in Brixton in February.”
The organisers have now also announced a series of shows taking place around the awards ceremony, all of which will go on sale on Friday 8 December 2017 alongside the ceremony.
The shows and ceremony will celebrate the best artists, albums and music from the past twelve months and into the future.
The NME Awards Shows 2018 will kick off on the 24 January with a headline show by Pretty Vicious at London’s Shacklewell Arms, running through until the 1 March 2018 with a headline performance by A2 at KOKO.
