Next Big Thing tickets are now available for the series of gigs curated by HMV, bringing live music fans the opportunity to see those bands, musicians and artists soon set to make waves on the music scene. Next Big Thing tickets will bring three bands a night to six iconic London venues over ten days, all for just ten pounds a gig. And all the bands on show will of course, be the Next Big Things, offering you a sneak peek at who’s going to make it big in 2012.

Pick up Next Big Thing tickets
Those fortunate enough to pick up Next Big Thing tickets will be treated to an impressive line up of artists, taking to the stages of Heaven, the Jazz Café, Barfly, The Borderline, the Relentless Garage and Upstairs at the Relentless Garage – some of London’s best-loved live music venues. All boast a good reputation for bringing the best new bands and musicians to the capital, so they’re the perfect places for the HMV Next Big Thing series to set up home.

Corking line up
Although the HMV Next Big Thing line up will see a host of bands that you might not have heard of (but who are set to be big), it will also see a smattering of bands that have already started their assault on the nation’s music-loving folk. Highlight acts include Modestep, Delilah, Beth Jeans Houghton, DJ Fresh and Emeli Sande all acting as evidence of the HMV Next Big Thing’s already impressive pedigree. For a full line up, take a look below.
