Tickets for Jake Bugg’s Official Splendour Sideshows went on sale at 9am this morning and sales have been so strong that the Sydney venue has now been upgraded to The Metro to accommodate the demand.
As fans struck the box office like a ‘Lightning Bolt’ out of the blue, the increased demand means that the Nottingham singer-songwriter has upgrraded his Sydney Splendour engagement on Thursday 25th July from its original site at the Oxford Arts Factory to the Metro to meet the increased capacity. Dates and details below.
UK’s newest rising star, Jake Bugg’s track ‘Lightning Bolt’ was first used to soundtrack the announcement that Splendour would be marking 2013 with a move to a permanent 660 acre site at North Byron Parklands in Yelgun. Bugg’s other big go-to song has been “Two Fingers’, which has ensured that there’s big things on the horizon for the Nottigham 19-year-old.
Released in October 2012 and hitting #1 in the UK, Jake Bugg was nominated for Brit and Ivor Novello trophies for his self-titled LP, which our Tone Deaf reviewer revered had “too much potential to ignore… his years are partly the reason behind this album’s early acclaim.”
Fresh off the road on a US tour with Band Of Horses, Jake’s the real deal, and his Splendour sideshows are not to be missed. Bugg plays Sydney’s The Metro on Thurdsay 25th July, and Melbourne’s The Corner on Sunday 28th July.
