Another year, another set of NME Awards, and while the show itself maybe a bit of a farce, NME do go to great lengths to lay on an awesome array of gigs in the run up to the event, and this year is no exception.

Justice have been roped in for five dates up and down the country, while the remarkable Tune-Yards, the hotly tipped Charlie Xcx, and the returning Big Pink will also be playing some suitably huge dates come February 2012.
