The Ting Tings Announce Huge UK Tour | Manchester Band Are No One-Hit Wonder

The Ting Tings seemed to come out of nowhere to become one of the hottest bands in the UK right now. They have even been noticed in the US after their song Shut Up And Let Me Go, which I recently reviewed on Killed By The Video Star, was featured on an Apple iPod advert.

I had my doubts about the band when I first heard them earlier this year but The Ting Tings are the real deal. This last weekend proved it for me as they performed at the Glastonbury Festival on Friday and absolutely blew the crowd, and me sitting at home watching on TV too, away.

The UK tour comprises 15 dates, starting in Liverpool in September, and ending in October with two gigs in London. The full list of gigs on The Ting Tings UK tour, courtesy of NME, are listed after the cut…

Liverpool Carling Academy (September 20)
Glasgow Barrowlands (21)
Newcastle Carling Academy (23)
Nottingham Rock City (24)
Southampton Guildhall (25)
Sheffield Carling Academy (26)
Norwich UEA (28)
Lincoln Engine Shed (29)
Leicester University (30)
Manchester Academy (October 2)
Birmingham Carling Academy (4)
Cardiff University Great Hall (5)
Bristol Carling Academy (7)
London Shepherds Bush Empire (8)
London Forum (9)

Tickets go on sale at 9am this Friday, July 4th, and I fully expect most of the gigs to sell out by the end of the day. I will be there trying my hardest to get tickets, but with my track record, I’m not very hopeful.

The Ting Tings are going to be huge, and by the time these gigs come around I expect everyone to want to go. Get your tickets now before they either sell out, or literally sell out by pissing off to America to make their fortune.
