IF YOU'RE WILD about the Manic Street Preachers, Fall, Buzzcocks, John Cooper Clarke, Dinosaur Jr and Bert Jansch, then get your bendy money ready because tickets to their exclusive MOJO Honours Shows are on sale now!
To recap, the shows have been specially hand-crafted by MOJO elves in order to celebrate the imminence of this year's MOJO Honours List ceremony.
The Manic Street Preachers bring their Gramsci and guyliner to London's HMV Forum on June 8. Dinosaur Jr conjure their grunge-inventing maelstrom at the same venue on June 9. Closing MOJO's Forum residency, the Golden Age of Mancunian post-punk pop is stuffed into a time machine, with a phenomenal bill of Buzzcocks, The Fall (former MOJO Award-winners both) and John Cooper Clarke unfolding on June 10.
Meanwhile, across town (but only a bit) that legend of UK folk Bert Jansch (another MOJO Award-winner) plays Camden's Jazz Café venue on June 8, bringing exotic tunings and bruised blues vocals from the black water side.
