LONDON Grammar finish off their current UK tour with a Bristol gig next week.

The band will be playing to a sold out O2 Academy on Monday, February 17, where they will continue to prove just why they’re one of the most exciting new bands to breakthrough in 2013.

The band spent last summer touring relentlessly, building a burgeoning, loyal live fanbase, playing storming sets everywhere from Glastonbury to Secret Garden, Wilderness to Ibiza Rocks to Bestival (where Hannah sung onstage with Disclosure) and Festival Number 6.

Last year as their debut album, If You Wait, entered the UK album charts at number 2 (right behind the Arctic Monkeys) and their first ever headline tour sold out.

The album was the result of 18 painstaking months spent writing and recording, and each of the 11 tracks is testament to the trio’s innate understanding of the roles that subtlety, contrast and restraint have played in the creation of memorable, timeless and transcendent music.

“That’s how this all started,” says Dan, “and it’s always been our primary goal, to keep space in the music. The way that, say, the guitar and vocal interact is massively important to us.”

Lancashire electro duo Bondax will be joining them as special guests on all dates.
