Simon Rushworth
rushonrock has been right behind these guys from day one and we’re delighted to say that Josh and the boys will guarantee some serious March madness after announcing their latest UK headline tour.
You Me At Six have rapidly become one of the biggest emerging rock bands on both sides of the Atlantic and, with their second album due in early 2010, an 11-date jaunt has been confirmed.
And in keeping with their past treatment of loyal fans, those who have purchased copies of the band’s stonking Take Off Your Colours will be first in line to claim tickets for next year’s dates. If you own copy of the band’s acclaimed debut album you can access the tour’s presale on November 4 by opening a virtual locker called YOU ME AT SIX: BACKSTAGE at www.youmeatsix.co.uk. The locker can be accessed simply by inserting a copy of the album into the PC drive.
Fans who bought the album on iTunes will also be able to gain entry. Opening the locker triggers another surprise as it unveils details of an exclusive competition in which fans can win the chance to meet YM@6 at the video shoot for their brand new single and record a behind the scenes blog on behalf of the band. Plus there will be a brand new tour poster to download for free and other YM@6 goodies.
Any remaining tickets will then go on general sale on November 6th priced £16 for London and £15 for all other dates.
