The iconic NME Awards Shows explode onto London’s live music scene for 2012 with a line-up so packed full of talent that the Shows have burst out of the Capital and will visit five cities around the UK. This year influential Parisian duo Justice will lead a series of shows that will bring the might of The NME Awards Shows to the whole of the UK.

Kicking off on 9th February and running throughout the month, the Shows will bring some of the most acclaimed acts to the Capital. Spread across some of London’s most iconic and best-loved music venues, with acts including The Big Pink and Marina and the Diamonds, the NME Awards Shows are a month-long blast of the very best established and cutting-edge musical talent around.

Critically acclaimed French dance duo Justice will headline a five-date series of shows that kick off in Bristol on 9th February. Following the release of their long-awaited second album ‘Audio, Video, Disco’ last month, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay will also bring the pummelling levels of intensity of a Justice live show to London, Birmingham and Glasgow, before bringing the roof down on Manchester Academy on 13th February.

NME Editor and Awards Shows architect Krissi Murison says of the shows: “This year is unprecedented, not only do we have phenomenal bands playing all over London, but we are also thrilled that Justice will be playing an exclusive UK wide mini-tour. It’s going to be amazing.”

Xavier de Rosnay of Justice says: “We’re really looking forward to playing in the UK again – especially in London. One of our favourite memories of playing live was in London when we played at the Astoria just before it closed a few years ago. Since then, we've known just what a great place London is to play. It's really exciting to be playing the tracks from our new album 'Audio, Video, Disco' – we're working on the lightshow now to make sure it looks as amazing as possible."
