Thanks to the rescheduling of Vant’s tour from this October to next January, my 2020 gigs list started to write itself a couple of weeks ago. Since then, Bon Iver and Sam Fender have announced arena tours, so I may well add those massive acts to my plans, too. I’m not particularly keen on huge stadium-style venues and tend to swerve them in favour of smaller, more intimate spaces, but I may have to break my rule there.

One other band is for sure, though — Kid Kapichi will be kicking the month of March off with an angsty start. I’m absolutely buzzing to see them take Leeds by storm.

Watch this space for more artists I’ll be seeing next year…
