The Maccabees' Felix White comments: "I remember me and Hugo [White, guitarist], went to the Bloc Party, Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs tour [in 2005, which also featured The Killers]. We were like, 'Shit, that's how it's done'.

I remember being ridiculously excited about The Futureheads. That was a time when the possibility of what you could do with your mates and guitars, realising how you did that and it being achievable, became real. Those tours put that in front of you."

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on 13th February, and you'll be able to pick them up here.

If you’re on O2 you can get Priority Tickets to see Shockwaves NME Awards Tour at O2 venues next February. Tickets on sale now. Terms apply.
