Rudimental
Alexandra Palace, October 16
The four-strong Hackney outfit release new album ‘We the Generation’ in September, which gives their all-out, full-band, brass-heavy live incarnation just enough to time to master another clutch of drum 'n' bass anthems before this huge show at Ally Pally. This will go off.

The Cribs
Roundhouse, October 28
Yorkshire's spirited, scuzzy garage rockers released their sixth album ‘For All My Sisters’ earlier this year. A decade on from their debut, they still know how to pull out a big, catchy riff or an arena-ready chorus when they want to.

City and Colour
Troxy, February 26 and 27, 2016
Formerly the lead guitarist in Canadian screamo kings Alexisonfire, nowadays Dallas Green (city, colour – get it?) makes big-hearted, clear-voiced folk-pop that's won three Junos. Three whats? They're Canadian Grammys, obviously.
