The Jacques + The Sukis + Pistol Daisys - 'the Wheels In Motion Tour'

THE JACQUES, THE SUKIS AND PISTOL DAISYS GET IN THE VAN FOR ‘THE WHEELS IN MOTION TOUR’ THIS COMING SEPTEMBER In an ever changing and evolving music industry, whilst the digital age has transformed so many aspects of how artists operate, one thing that will never change is the desire to get in the van and take the music out on the road: live, personal and in your face. This coming September sees the start of ‘The Wheels In Motion Tour’, a three-band bill that will support indie venues up and down the country, showcasing some of the UKs most thrilling indie rock talent with The Jacques, The Sukis and Pistol Daisys. Curated by indie live agency Motion Talent, all three bands are part of the emerging artists on their roster, and the tour aims to boost grassroots touring through indie venues with a fan friendly low-ticket price. Motion’s Neil O’Brien says: “I am incredibly excited to see our first Wheels In Motion tour hit the road in September with three of our homegrown emerging artists playing some of the UK’s best independent venues. As an independent live agency booking tours and festivals worldwide Motion Talent is committed to investing in artists by creating high quality touring and being involved at the beginning with marketing, PR, transport, accommodation and technical support unlike anyone else.
